Default Is this a good graphics card?

Is 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8300GS a good graphics card? If it is a good card, is what is Intel(R) G965 Express Chipset Family (Intel(R) GMA 3000) like compared to it?

Any PCI-E card will be better than onboard graphics, although, the 8300GS would not be considered good by any standard.

If you want to game in DirectX 10, I wouldn't consider anything BELOW an 8600GTS.

For general uses, yes, for gaming, NO .

Yeah, basically like the other's said, if you are even remotely considering to play games on the computer, DON'T get that card.
