Intel HD Graphics vs. NVIDIA GeForce 210

[kid22]

Hello all..
I have a PC running the ff specs:

Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2100 CPU @ 3.10GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.1GHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
Graphics Card: Intel® HD Graphics onboard


I have a spare 1 GB NVIDIA GeForce 210 Graphic card so I installed it so I can play games. I updated it with the latest driver version 296.10

Then I noticed that my desktop doesn't look as clear as I have before when all I had was the onboard Intel HD graphics. The text on the desktop icons look blurry. I tried adjusting the appearance > display > resolution settings to the native resolution for my acer monitor (1366 x 768). I also adjusted the 'ClearType text' settings. Still, my desktop looks a bit blurry.

Is this because the Intel HD graphics is better than the GeForce 210?


Many Thanks!

In my views Intel HD Graphics are better than GT210. This is a bit low range card and HD support on Intel Graphics allow you to have High definition output. Intel Core i3 processor itself offer a great support for the graphic output. I think if you have this kind of system you can run those game which supports 512mb of gpu.
