In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Intel HD i5 K655 are significantly better than the AMD Radeon HD 4290.
The HD i5 K655 was released less than a year after the Radeon HD 4290, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance 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 HD 4290 has 128 MB video memory, but the HD i5 K655 does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The Radeon HD 4290 has 40 Shader Processing Units but the HD i5 K655 does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The HD i5 K655 requires 73 Watts to run but there is no entry for the Radeon HD 4290.

| Mini Review | Radeon HD 4290 (IGP) is an integrated GPU on the AMD 890GX Chipset. It's based on the RS880D Core and offers 40 Shader Processing Units, 4 TMUs and 4 ROPs a 32-bit memory interface of either DDR2 (more commonly) or DDR3. The central unit runs, commonly, at up to 700MHz and the memory clock's operating speed depends on the system RAM's speed. Radeon HD 4290's performance depends on the users system configuration which will define the operating memory clock's speed and on the desktop manufacturer which decides its central unit's speed. Therefore, Radeon HD 4290, even if paired with DDR3 won't offer similar performance to the dedicated Radeon HD 4350. DirectX 11 games aren't supported. | Intel i5 K655 is a specific version of Intel GMA graphics that is built into the Intel Core i5 K655 processor. This can handle most of the latest games like, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Batman: Arkham City, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on the lowest settings in a pretty good frame rate. Perfect fit for a non-hardcore gamer. | |||
