IGP or Old GPU

[Equilibrium21]

I don't have money for a new GPU for now. So should I use the Pentium's G4560 IGP or my old Galaxy Geforce 9600GT 1GB?

It would be different for different games I believe. The HD 610 iGPU on the G4560 is not very good. The G4600 has the much better HD 630 though, would be better than the 9600GT.

I already bought the G4560, just wanted to know if its worth using my old GPU or going on with the IGPU until I get a new GPU. I want it for movies and light gaming.

In terms of performance, they are almost equal, with very slight advantage in favor of 9600GT:

However, 610 is a much newer card with hugely improved technology and DX support. It is a better choice overall. Not to mention it uses very small amount of power.

For movies it shouldn't matter. For games, it will depend on the game/settings. I would suggest you just try each one on some games and decide which has the best performance. Or you could run some benchmarks (like Passmark Performance Test) on the graphics performance and compare the 2. Some people don't like Passmark for some reason.

Alright, thanks everyone!
