In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon X1300 PRO are massively better than the Intel 865G.
The Radeon X1300 PRO was released over three years more recently than the 865G, and so the Radeon X1300 PRO is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the 865G when running the latest games.
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 Radeon X1300 PRO has 240 MB more video memory than the 865G, so is likely to be slightly better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the Radeon X1300 PRO also has superior memory performance overall.
The Radeon X1300 PRO has 6.4 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the 865G, which means that the memory performance of the Radeon X1300 PRO is marginally better than the 865G.
The Radeon X1300 PRO has 4 Shader Processing Units but the 865G does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The Radeon X1300 PRO requires 31 Watts to run and the 865G requires 13 Watts. The Radeon X1300 PRO requires 18 Watts more than the 865G to run. The difference is not significant enough for the Radeon X1300 PRO to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the 865G.

| Mini Review | Radeon X1300 PRO is an entry-level GPU based on the 80nm variant of the R500 architecture. It's based on the RV516 Core and offers 4 Pixel Shaders, 4 TMUs and 4 ROPs, on a 128-bit of standard DDR. The central unit runs at 600MHz and the memory clock operates at up to 400MHz. Radeon X1300 PRO offers higher clock frequencies than Radeon X1300 but it also consumes relatively more power. Its performance is relatively better than X1300 but today's modern games are still 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 865G comes embedded on the Pentium 4, Pentium D, Pentium Extreme Edition, Celeron, Celeron D CPUS and features an Integrated GPU called Intel Extreme Graphics 2. It only supports DirectX up to 7.0 so even DirectX 8/9 games aren't (hardware) supported. The performance is ridiculous and even very old games (before 2003) might require reduced settings. Today's games are, obviously, unplayable. | |||
