Intel HD Graphics 530 vs. Zotac GTS250

[joe360]

This might be a stupid question (sorry if it is), but I'm putting together a new rig and I am going to wait on buying a brand new video card for awhile. So my options for now is to take my old Zotac GTS250 or just use the integrated graphics from the i5-6500 I plan on buying. Knowing its limitations, I will not be doing anything crazy on it, but overall would one be a better option than the other?

Thanks!

I would just use the integrated graphics.

You already own the card?
You can put both in the system and switch between them via bios,if you have a second monitor then even better,check em both out and decide.

I don't think there will be much of a difference,if any,so the integrated will be using less power and generally be more quiet than having two fans producing noise.

Yup, from an old system.

The GTS 250 is about as fast as a 4870 and slower than a 5750. Not only is the 250 only DX10, but even in old DX9/10 games the 530 will probably be faster. It won't be a massive difference, but you might as well just use the IGP.
