Gamers' systems will use neither onboard video, good _or_ bad, nor

A gamer will NEVER use onboard video, because there's no such thing as
"good" onboard video. Plain and simple.

Could you get off your platinum-plated high horse in your gold-plated
ivory tower? Not everybody is a gamer. Not everybody requires better
performance than everyone else. Motherboards have been made with better
integrated video[0] than I have on computers that work perfectly well,
with PCI video cards that aren't crap for the purpose they serve.

That purpose may be serving DNS and forwarding email. And if you've
actually read the OP's statements dispassionately, his application
_may_ be run on computers sold for that express purpose. And have
integrated video which is better than the crap PCI-E card some clueless
sysadmin has lying in his cupboard, and installs without looking because,
hey, onboard must be worse.

Please open your eyes to the myriad wonders of the real world. It *even*
produces people more narrow-minded than you. Meanwhile, technology
doesn't care for politics and public image, and measurements trump
assumptions every time.
