Games look better with 3d card?

Maybe my eyes are fooling me, but it seems games like UT 1999 look better on an ATI Radeon card than on Intel integrated ones in laptops. Can anyone confirm? Do discreet 3d cards do more than just speed up game rendering?
 
Dedicated cars will always perform better than an integrated chipset.
 
No, that's not what I mean. I wasn't referring to the fps. It seems textures look better on a 3d card as in richer color, more details. In contrast, the same textures look kind of washed out and dead on Intel graphics.

So, the question is, are my eyes fooling me like Dumbo with the feather, or do these 3d cards actually do more than give you a higher fps, as in they have better texture rendering algos and handle colors and lighting better?
