Does a integrated video card bottle neck a PC's performance?

How much does a video card effect a computer's overall performance? For instance, if a computer with a Pentium III 1GHz had a Geforce 9800 GT, would it out perform a P 4 3GHz with a basic integrated video card?|||Hello,

an Integrated video card uses up the Ram memory to run.



So however much ram the manufactures says the Integrated video card has is deducted from the ram installed.



So yes it does affect performance.|||a 3 ghz processor will outperform a p3 anyday regardless of the graphics. The integrated will be slower than a separate card, however the processor plays a huge factor in preformance.|||well, some integrated cards actually have memory built with them, such as the Radeon HD 3200, which is a good integrated card, but the video card only affects you playing games, running Vista or windows 7 or cad and some office applications. Other than that, there isn't really much of a slowdown. The P4 would outperform the p3 any day, no matter what card
