In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Intel Q43 Express Chipset are marginally better than the AMD Radeon HD 4200.
The Radeon HD 4200 was released less than a year after the Q43 Express Chipset, 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 4200 has 512 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 Radeon HD 4200 has 40 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. | Radeon HD 4200 (IGP) is an integrated GPU on the AMD 880G Chipset. It's based on the RS880 Core and offers 40 Shader Processing Units, 4 TMUs and 4 ROPs a 32-bit memory interface of DDR2. The central unit runs, commonly, at up to 500MHz and the memory clock's operating speed depends on the system RAM's speed. Radeon HD 4200'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 4200 may offer similar performance to Radeon HD 4250/4290 but never close to the dedicated Radeon HD 4350. DirectX 11 games aren't supported. | |||
