Uhh, no...
More like because I haven't even seen this so-called article, and
right now I'm just taking your word for it.
Maybe it exists, and maybe it doesn't.
Maybe the tests were properly conducted, or maybe they would be
laughed at by any real expert in the field.


Have you been paying attention? Crap PCI-E cards are *not* modern
video cards.

So what you were doing all this time is arguing that a modern onboard
video system will outperform 10-year old technology? Oh wow...what a
real shocker that would turn out to be...


If, as you say, power is
determined _exclusively_ by the chip, then any motherboard with a
6100 integrated is going to run circles around any addon card with
a 6000 chip.

No, I never said power was determined EXCLUSIVELY by the chip.
Nice try though.
What I said was that the more powerful GPU along with a much wider bus
along with much faster, dedicated GDDR3 memory is what makes a
peripheral card superior to onboard garbage which uses a scaled down
GPU, along with your slow system bus, along with your regular system
memory.


This runs ever so slightly counter to your brashly
confident statement that 'PCI-E' (addon) graphics are going to beat
onboard graphics *always*.

And they ALWAYS will.
Unless of course we have some truly gifted individual who compares
cards from 1995 to onboard video designed in 2007.


Forgetting for the moment that you are defending 'crap' PCI-E video
cards, and bring in as their champion an eight hundred dollar monster.

I was using the example to make it as obvious as I could to somebody
who clearly doesn't have a clue, that onboard video will NEVER
outperform a peripheral card for the simple reason that onboard chips
are always scaled down version, and you will never get anything even
remotely close to what a peripheral video card can accomplish.

But all this time it's apparent that you were arguing that modern
onboard video will outperform "crap" peripheral cards. If I had known
that your idea of "crap" was in reference to something that's several
years behind in technology, then I wouldn't have spent even five
seconds arguing with you because it would've taken considerably less
time to just laugh at you and move on to something more productive.
