Looking for comparison charts
I currently have a motherboard with built in Intel® 82845G Graphics
Controller, 1GB shared RAM and no AGP slot, only PCI slots. I would like to know what, if any, the performance boost of a Radeon 9200. 9200SE or 9250 would be over my Intel Graphics? I was actually looking at the PowerColor ATI Radeon 9200 or 9250 with 256MB DDR. Any help would be appreciated. Robert.... |

Robert.... an onboard graphics chip like that is good for 2d desktop apps only and a complete non-starter for games especially 3d games. sites like Toms Hardware that do comparison articles of graphics card wont even mention an intel onboard chip because its ... well .... silly - quite honestly. you dont mention what CPU you have but say you have a 2ghz cpu and 1gig RAM - a 9200 (dont touch a SE version) will run Quake 3 engine based games like Call of Duty okay and newer stuff like HL2 reasonably at low resolution. I would also expect the image quality of the Radeon to be better mainly because onboard chips generally dont do high refresh rates at high resolutions. |

Thanks, I have no problems playing most games. I have a Pentium 4 2.8Ghz
with 1GB RAM. I dont play The new highend games, except for like Sim2 and Americas Army. I wanted to get a bit more video power so I could play Unreal 2004. Its a bit jittery on low graphics mode. I guess its a good idea to upgrade. I was just hoping to see something in how much more ill get out of a new card. Thanks again.....
