Value of integrated graphics on mobo?

most onboard graphics is pretty low end a card would cost in the 10-20$
range if you could find one that slow!

Approximately what would it cost to buy a seperate graphics card
offering the same sort of quality as the integrated graphics on a
quality motherboard like:

Asus A7N8X-VM (nVidia)
Asus A7V8X-VM (Via)
Gigabyte 7VN400M (Via)
MSI-K7M2G-L (nVidia)
etc

So almost any card costing upwards of $30 (or £20) would be better
than what is on a mobo? Is that generally a correct understanding?

They are fine for 2d and are awful at 3d gaming.

So if you are going to play games quite a bit get a separate card.

If you arent playing games get an on-board solution.
If you arent playing games now but may in the future get an onboard
solution and then get the latest/greatest choice of current cards when
you want them.

YES, your understanding is correct.

The nvidia intergrated video is the fastest. It may be as fast as the
slowest nvidia cards.
