Q: My motherboard has onboard ATI HD 3200. I dont know if those graphics are good or not? Also, what are they compared to the 8600GT 512MB?
A: ATI HD 3200 is one of the best INTEGRATED graphics. It easily beats Intel's GMA X3100 and would be more comparable to the new Nvidia Geforce 8200 INTEGRATED graphics. Integrated graphics would still fall way behind dedicated cards. They are still unable to catch up even with the 8500GT. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=nvidia_8200&num=5 The new integrated graphics are nice for an HTPC set up or for their hybrid Crossfire (for HD 3200) or hybrid SLI (for Geforce 8200) support.
