Integrated Intel HD4000 vs ATI 2600 PRO

[-sandro-]

Hello,
I have this old GPU from my previous computer that is giving me an headache because the fan runs always at full speed. I don't play games just video editing and 1080p playback. I was wondering (even if I don't play games) if the Intel HD4000 integrated in my i5-3570k is better, on par or worse?

The HD4000 is much better for video playback. Video editing I doubt any make any difference since its mainly CPU dependent. Gaming wise the HD4000 may win since the 2600Pro was a lowend card in 2007.

Use the HD4000.

HD4000 is fine for normal use. I wouldn't have bothered with the 2600, it's the kind of card that's made obsolete since cpu's come with an igp.

OK throwing the 2600 away

Well, recycle it or give it away to someone with a Core2Duo and needs the upgrade.
