M4A89GTD Intergrated Graphics vs Cheap GPU
Last response: in Motherboards
Hi
I've just upgraded from a 5 year old setup. It's based around the ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 board. It has the ATI 4290 on board graphics set. I still have my old ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 512MB (DDR3) PCIe x16 left from the previous rig.
I don't play many games (FM 2011 & Pro Evo 11 are the only two) but do like watching HD movies. Should I use the onboard graphics or the 2600 XT? I'll have more RAM dedicated with the card but I'm sure the Mhz on it is slower. I'm a newbie so am not sure what other variables there are.
Thanks in advance, ViT.

I generally recommend against on-board GPU MOBOs, it slows the system and pulls resources + RAM via 'shared' 0.25GB~0.5GB.
That said, if the performance or 'shared' RAM {stolen recourses} bothers you then use the dedicated GPU. You will need to {if available} Disable the on-board GPU in the BIOS AND in the Device Manager and afterwards restart then install the new GPU.
