In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Intel Q43 Express Chipset are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce 8200.
The Q43 Express Chipset was released less than a year after the GeForce 8200, 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 Q43 Express Chipset and the GeForce 8200 have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The memory bandwidth of the Q43 Express Chipset and the GeForce 8200 are the same, which means the Q43 Express Chipset and the GeForce 8200 have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.
The GeForce 8200 has 8 Shader Processing Units but the Q43 Express Chipset does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.

| Mini Review | 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. | The NVIDIA® GeForce® 8200 motherboard GPU provides DirectX® 10 and HD movies to everyone. Enjoy Windows Vista™, today's popular games, and much more. | |||
