If an integrated video card were to be sold as a standalone video card, how much would it cost?

I'm talking about integrated chips on a modern mid-level or high-end motherboard . If that graphics chip was required to be bought by itself, how much would it cost?



I'm just trying to get an idea of how much better regular graphics card are compared to integrated graphics.|||Intel prices it's integrated chips at: (drum roll) Four dollars.

If you're an OEM, it will cost you $4 more to get a G965 over a P965.

Now, putting a GPU and some ram on an add-in board costs some money, but that's the price of the chipset itself. If they were to put it on a PCB, it would likely cost about as much as the cheapest standalone graphics cards do (GF 6200, 7100 GS, Radeon X300), so a little less than $40.



To get an idea of the performance, search for reviews and benchmarks. But suffice it to say that integrated graphics are by and large unsuitable for gaming.

Integrated means the VGA chipsets are part of the motherboard.



You can buy a 128mb VGA card for less then $50|||about 50 bucks ... u need to spend about 150 to get a medium performance card and about 300 to get a close to hi-end card ..
