Hello, I already have PC with Intel Core i3 4160 which also includes Intel HD Graphics 4400.
There's one person offering me deal Nvidia GeForce GT 530 (2GB vram, 128 bit) and I wonder if this more better than Intel HD Graphics 4400?

Intel HD Graphics 4400:
GPU Clock: 350-1150 MHz
Pixel Rate: 2.300 GPixel/s
Texture Rate: 23.00 GTexel/s
FP32 (float): 368.0 GFLOPS
FP64 (double): 92.00 GFLOPS (1:4)
Memory: System Shared
Shading Units: 160
TMUs: 20
ROPs: 2

Nvidia GeForce GT 530:
GPU Clock: 700 MHz
Pixel Rate: 2.800 GPixel/s
Texture Rate: 11.20 GTexel/s
FP32 (float): 268.8 GFLOPS
FP64 (double): 22.40 GFLOPS (1:12)
Memory: 2GB DDR3 128 bit, 28.80 GB/s
Shading Units: 96
TMUs: 16
ROPs: 4

I don't understand what's the number means, this taken on google search, does higher means better? can someone suggested me please?

My PC:
- Intel Core i3 4160
- 8GB RAM Dual-channel 128 bit
- 500GB HDD

What number?

In any case, the GT 530 is technically a little bit faster, but not by enough that it actually matters enough to bother with an upgrade. Neither is suited for any task more arduous than running Windows and playing solitaire or Minesweeper.
 


You won't be able to play anything new but what you can play is a great collection from 2015 and earlier. If it's all you have use it. Happy gaming

The Pixel Rate, Texture Rate, FP32, and FP64 number.
Intel HD Graphics has much higher number than Nvidia GeForce GT 530, so that's why I think HD 4400 more better.

I just playing games like Left 4 Dead 2, Akiba's Trip, and other that doesn't requires high demand.

So that means GT 530 is slightly better right? Noted!

Yeah, I just playing little older games and mid games. It's quite surprisingly good in HD 4400 so I wonder if GT 530 is more better or not.

All these numbers don't really matter when talking different architectures. A Pentium 4 HT 672 from 2005 has a faster clock speed than a Ryzen 1600 from nearly 15 years later. The Ryzen absolutely murders the Pentium 4.

The GT 530 is slightly more powerful, but I can't imagine it's worth the bother.
