In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Intel Q43 Express Chipset are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce 8300.

The Q43 Express Chipset was released less than a year after the GeForce 8300, 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 8300 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 8300 are the same, which means the Q43 Express Chipset and the GeForce 8300 have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.

Both the Q43 Express Chipset and the GeForce 8300 have 0 Shader Processing Units. The two GPUs are based on different architectures, but deliver an equivalent shader performance. To compare, we must continue to look at the memory bandwidth, Texture and Pixel Rates. In this case, we sadly do not have enough data in this area to complete the comparison.
