In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon HD 4200 are massively better than the Intel 865G.
The Radeon HD 4200 was released over three years more recently than the 865G, and so the Radeon HD 4200 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the 865G 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 496 MB more video memory than the 865G, so is likely to be slightly better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the Radeon HD 4200 also has superior memory performance overall.
The memory bandwidth of the 865G and the Radeon HD 4200 are the same, which means the 865G and the Radeon HD 4200 have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.
The Radeon HD 4200 has 40 Shader Processing Units but the 865G does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The 865G requires 13 Watts to run but there is no entry for the Radeon HD 4200.

| Mini Review | Intel 865G comes embedded on the Pentium 4, Pentium D, Pentium Extreme Edition, Celeron, Celeron D CPUS and features an Integrated GPU called Intel Extreme Graphics 2. It only supports DirectX up to 7.0 so even DirectX 8/9 games aren't (hardware) supported. The performance is ridiculous and even very old games (before 2003) might require reduced settings. Today's games are, obviously, unplayable. | 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. | |||
