Intel integrated VS old dedicated GPU.

[BlackHoleFox]

Hello,

I'm putting together a small computer to take with me for very basic games and work when I travel and the best GPU i have lying around is an XFX 9800 GT card. The CPU I am using is an Intel Core i3-2100 with Intel HD Graphics 2000 built in it. Ive done some googling but I can not seem to find a definitive answer of which is better to use as a primary graphics processor.

 

Thanks In Advance.

Thanks for the advice. It just feels like the 512MB of the dedicated are crud. But I will do what you said and find out. Thank you.

That is pretty low indeed but again. onboard is never really that good.

The 9800 GT is better.
