In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Intel G43 Express Chipset are significantly better than the AMD Radeon 3000.
The Radeon 3000 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 G43 Express Chipset and the Radeon 3000 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 G43 Express Chipset and the Radeon 3000 are the same, which means the G43 Express Chipset and the Radeon 3000 have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.
The Radeon 3000 has 40 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 but there is no entry for the Radeon 3000.

| Mini Review | Intel G43 Express Chipset comes embedded on the Core 2 Quad/Core 2 Duo CPUS and features an Integrated GPU called Intel GMA X4500. Due to its characteristics (e.g. Shared Memory) the performance is very limited but might be enough to play today's games at low settings excluding, however, very demanding games like Metro 2033 or The Witcher II, that are unplayable, even at the lowest settings. | Radeon 3000 (IGP) is an integrated GPU on the AMD 760G Chipset. It's manufactured with a 55nm technology but it's not based on the shader unified R600 architecture and therefore pixel and vertex shaders work separately (thus does not support DirectX 10). It's based on the RS760 Core and offers 40 Shader Processing Units, 4 TMUs and 4 ROPs a 32-bit memory interface of standard 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 3000'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. Radeon 3000 is related to Radeon HD 3200 but unlike the latter, does not offer DirectX 10 support. Both DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 games aren't supported. | |||
