Better to use card or onboard video?

Nvidia 9400gt 512mb and NVIDIA GeForce 7025 GPU integrated video

It seems like my video card has been running extremely laggy or slow nowdays. Im not much of a computer nerd but i know how to get myself in and out of trouble. I have tried downloading and reinstalling drivers but that doesnt help. I just wanted a little better performance out of it since I currently dont have the cash to buy a new one.

Just wondering what your thoughts are?

That card is never going to be better, it was designed for dual monitor support and not actual 3d. Consider spending $60 on something like a radeon 6670 or $100 on a geforce 650.

What are you trying to play?

well, lets look at rift then. I looked up the reqs from the publisher, they will let you play with an nvidia 7600 card. Thats really old and crappy. So IMHO your card may be capable enough to play it. You said it was getting lag and slowdown. Has this always occurred? Lets get some system specs, CPU, ram, mobo, etc. Maybe you could use some more ram or your system could be overclocked.
