XFX 9600 GSO Vs 3570K Onboard

[JLR]

Hi Everyone,
Im not sure if Ive posted this in the correct section but here goes.

Ok Ive recently built a PC for someone as they are on a budget Ive used a XFX 9600 GSO XXX Overclocked card from an old build until they can purchase a new card.

Now my thoughts are does it make more sense to use the onboard gfx for now rather than use the card as the card is older tech. The PC is used for gaming I'd say the most graphic intensive game used is Hitman Absolution.

The PC Spec is as follows :-

i5 3570K
8GB 1333Mhz Ram (Until 1600Mhz can be purchased)
MSI G45 Z77 Mobo
Seagate 7200RPM 3TB HDD

If you need any more details please let me know

Thanks all .

I am pretty sure the 9600 is still a better card than the HD 4000

Overclock the memory then benchmark for yourself.

No contest, the 4000 is slower, regardless of how much you overclock the RAM, it will still be a lot slower than the GDDR on the 9600.

Thanks for the replies peeps I will prob leave the card in its only a temporary solution anyway.

9600gso is much better than integrated ivy gfx. It's actually quite comparable to a good APU build.
