In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon HD 4350 1GB are significantly better than the Intel G43 Express Chipset.
The HD 4350 was released less than a year after the G43 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 HD 4350 has 1024 MB video memory, but the G43 Express Chipset does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The HD 4350 has 80 Shader Processing Units but the G43 Express Chipset does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The G43 Express Chipset requires 24 Watts to run and the Radeon HD 4350 1GB requires 20 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the HD 4350, but we do not have a recommended PSU wattage for the G43 Express Chipset. The G43 Express Chipset requires 4 Watts more than the HD 4350 to run. The difference is not significant enough for the G43 Express Chipset to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the HD 4350.
