In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia Quadro NVS 295 are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce 7050.

The Quadro NVS 295 was released over a year more recently than the GeForce 7050, and so the Quadro NVS 295 is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the GeForce 7050.

Both GPUs exhibit very poor performance, so rather than upgrading from one to the other you should consider looking at more powerful GPUs. Neither of these will be able to run the latest games in any playable way.

The Quadro NVS 295 has 128 MB more video memory than the GeForce 7050, so is likely to be slightly better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the Quadro NVS 295 also has superior memory performance overall.

The Quadro NVS 295 has 5.9 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce 7050, which means that the memory performance of the Quadro NVS 295 is marginally better than the GeForce 7050.

The Quadro NVS 295 has 8 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce 7050 has 2. However, the actual shader performance of the Quadro NVS 295 is 4 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce 7050 is 1. The Quadro NVS 295 having 3 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the Quadro NVS 295 delivers a marginally smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GeForce 7050.

The Quadro NVS 295 requires 23 Watts to run but there is no entry for the GeForce 7050. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the Quadro NVS 295.
