In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon 9500 are massively better than the Intel 865G.
The 865G was released less than a year after the Radeon 9500, 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 9500 has 112 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 9500 also has superior memory performance overall.
The Radeon 9500 has 4.3 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the 865G, which means that the memory performance of the Radeon 9500 is marginally better than the 865G.
The Radeon 9500 has 4 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 9500.

| 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. | The Radeon R300 (introduced August 2002) is the third generation of Radeon graphics chips from ATI Technologies. The line features 3D acceleration based upon Direct3D 9.0 and OpenGL 2.0, a major improvement in features and performance compared to the preceding Radeon R200 design. R300 was the first fully Direct3D 9-capable consumer graphics chip. The processors also include 2D GUI acceleration, video acceleration, and multiple display outputs. R300 refers to the development codename of the initially released GPU of the generation. R300 and its derivatives would form the basis for ATI's consumer and professional product lines for over 3 years. The integrated graphics processor based upon R300 is called Xpress 200. | |||
