Hello

I'm building a rig and have everything except from a decent graph card.
I am planning on buying a nice GPU soon but at the moment i'm stuck with what i have.
My build has a "ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer" motherboard in it.
I was wondering if the on board graphics are better than my card since it's a really old and crappy one. Right now the only thing i have laying around is a "Asus EAH5450".

Thoughts?
 
You have to go back a fair way to find a motherboard with integrated graphics, nowadays thats been moved over to the CPU.
The iGPU on "k" series mainstream Intel chips (which I'm guessing you have given the board) is HD4600, look up reviews for that. I suspect it might be better, but dont know for sure.

You guessed right about my chip usage. I didn't even know onboard mobo graphs were a thing of the past now, it cleary was about time for me to build a new PC. The HD4600 seems to perform slightly better than a "ATI Radeon HD 5870" which means that it is better than the card i have laying around.
