Default how good is Intel® GMA 950, G965 graphics?

* :

for the Intel® G965 Express Chipset and The Intel® G950 graphic, what are
the comparable to like evga model number


The GMA950 is a chipset gfx which means it uses system RAM as video
memory. There isn't any gfx card that is really comparable to the
GMA950. For 2D it is as fast as any video card out there, in 3D it is a
bit slower than a Radeon Mobility 9200 or Geforce FX 5200 Go, both of
which were low end mobile GPUs already when they came out several years ago.

For 2D work the GMA950 is a good choice, and it also supports the Vista
Aero desktop effects. But if you want to do anything 3D you definitely
want a "real" GPU.
