In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Intel G43 Express Chipset are very slightly better than the Intel G41 Express Chipset.

The G41 Express Chipset 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 G41 Express Chipset and the G43 Express Chipset 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 G41 Express Chipset and the G43 Express Chipset are the same, which means the G41 Express Chipset and the G43 Express Chipset have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.

Both the G41 Express Chipset and the G43 Express Chipset have 0 Shader Processing Units. Having the same number of SPUs and using the same architecture means that the performance they offer can be compared by looking 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.

The G41 Express Chipset requires 25 Watts to run and the G43 Express Chipset requires 24 Watts. The G41 Express Chipset requires 1 Watts more than the G43 Express Chipset to run. The difference is not significant enough for the G41 Express Chipset to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the G43 Express Chipset.
