In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Intel G41 Express Chipset are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce 7050.
The G41 Express Chipset was released over a year more recently than the GeForce 7050, and so the G41 Express Chipset 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 GeForce 7050 has 128 MB video memory, but the G41 Express Chipset does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The GeForce 7050 has 2 Shader Processing Units but the G41 Express Chipset does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The G41 Express Chipset requires 25 Watts to run but there is no entry for the GeForce 7050.

| Mini Review | Intel G41 Express Chipset comes embedded on the Core 2 Quad/Core 2 Duo CPUS and features an Integrated GPU called Intel GMA X4500. Due to its characteristics (e.g. Shared Memory) the performance is very limited but might be enough to play today's games at low settings excluding, however, very demanding games like Metro 2033 or The Witcher II, that are unplayable, even at the lowest settings. | The GeForce experience is more affordable than ever with NVIDIA GeForce 7 Series motherboard GPUs, now for Intel-based PCs. *Immersive experiences on the latest applications and games. *Enjoy Windows Aero features such as Flip 3D, taskbar preview and translucent windows for a more productive computing experience. *Support for a full range of Intel CPUs (including Core™ 2, Pentium™ and Celeron™ CPU families), DDR2-800 memory and integrated HDMI or DVI display output. | |||
