In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon X1300 XT are marginally better than the Intel Q43 Express Chipset.
The Q43 Express Chipset was released over a year more recently than the X1300 XT, and so the Q43 Express Chipset is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the X1300 XT.
Both GPUs exhibit very poor performance, so rather than upgrading from one to the other you should consider looking at more powerful GPUs. Neither of these will be able to run the latest games in any playable way.
The X1300 XT has 256 MB video memory, but the Q43 Express Chipset does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The X1300 XT has 12 Shader Processing Units but the Q43 Express Chipset does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The Radeon X1300 XT requires 22 Watts to run but there is no entry for the Q43 Express Chipset.

| Mini Review | Radeon X1300 XT is an entry-level GPU based on the 90nm variant of the R500 architecture. It's based on the RV530 Core and offers 12 Pixel Shaders, 4 TMUs and 4 ROPs, on a 128-bit of standard DDR2. The central unit runs at 500MHz and the memory clock operates at up to 400MHz. Despite featuring more Pixel and Vertex Shaders, Radeon X1300 XT consumes less power than X1300 PRO due to being equipped with energy efficient DDR2 (against DDR X1300 PRO) and featuring a lower clocked central unit. Still, its performance is quite limited and so today's modern games are only playable at the lowest settings or unplayable at all. As it's not based on a Shader-Unified architecture, both DirectX 10 & 11 games aren't supported. | Intel Q43 Express Chipset comes embedded on the Intel Core 2 Quad/Core 2 Duo CPUS and features an Integrated GPU called Intel GMA X4500. Various Intel Chipsets come with the Intel GMA X4500 but this one (and the Q45) seem to deliver the best performance. However, due to its characteristics (e.g. Shared Memory) the performance is still very limited but might be enough to play today's games at low or medium settings excluding, however, very demanding games like Metro 2033 or The Witcher II, that are probably unplayable, even at the lowest settings. Note 1: Intel GMA X4500 does support DirectX 10 but even the most forgiving games might be unplayable due to the demand level. | |||
