I have a AMD A8 6600K which is a APU. I also recently found this old GPU that I have no idea if it is really bad or no. My question is should I install it into my system and give it a shot or just keep using only the APU?

Sure, if were comparing two relativiely new items like the APU and an AMD 6750 or something, but the card is old, there is no way it will keep up, even with a APU.

If you wanted to compare speeds of two cars, you could race for a benchmark between a porsche and ferrari. The ferrari and a ford tempo, there is no need.

It's much worse than the integrated graphics so it's not worth installing.

Oh yeah, you are right. For whatever reason I thought the aforementioned gpu was newer than it was.
