So, here's my problem.
I have a mobo with the ATI Radeon HD 4290 onboard GPU. I also have an old Dell Geforce 6800. I don't know which is better, maybe you can help.
Here are the specs of both GPUs.
ATI Radeon HD 4290
Interface: Integrated - 890GX Chipset
Core Clock: 700mhz
Mem Clock: 1333mhz DDR3
RAM: 128mb SidePort onboard memory + 512mb shared
Shader Pipelines: 40
DirectX Version: 10.1
nVidia Geforce 6800
Interface: PCI-Express 1.0
Core Clock: 325mhz
Mem Clock: 350mhz DDR1
RAM: 256mb discrete
Shader Pipelines: 12
DirectX Version: 9
Will the 6800 be better automatically, simply because it's dedicated? Note that I cannot use Hybrid CrossFireX because this is an nVidia card, but I'd guess that the equivalent ATI card would be too old for that anyway.
