I dont think it is, but it is for laptops. Your the one that asked about intergrated video on motherboards arent you? Well if your looking at intergrated video then the chipsets are Geforce 4 MX420 cards and basically are crap.
If your deciding to go for a motherboard and then get a seperate card then that great.
Radeon and Geforce 4 Ti cards I dont think are too different. But of course it depends on the model of the cards. The new Radeons, 9200, 9600, 9800 and are Direct X 9 where as older models like the 9500 and 9700 arent. Geforce 4 Ti cards are direct X 8. The old Ti cards where 4x AGP but now they have been redesigned to do 8x AGP. The new Radeon cards are 8x AGP but I think the 9500 and 9700 maybe 4x AGP.
Another factor is money. Special Reserve do a Ti 4200 128mb card for £90 and a Radeon 9600 Pro for £150, you can get them around £120 for a decent make. 9600 Pro is a better card as its direct X 9 as well as being a good performance to price. The Ti cards are still ok but there old hat now and will probably start to show there age in a few months. The Ti 4600 has been rebanded as a Ti 4800 by some compainies and can be found for £150-160 for a gainward model. The Ti 4600/4800 has shown in tests that it can run Halflife 2 in direct X 8 mode pretty well.
So the question is how much money you want to spend? Got £300 spare then maybe go and get the Radeon 9800 Pro as its mega performance. Only got £80 then maybe a Geforce 4 Ti or even a Radeon 9200. Dont forget that a Radeon 9800 Pro is £300 for a reason and the 9200 is £70 also for a good reason. Ask yourself what type of performance you want with the cash your willing to spend. For a good performer than the 9600 Pro is good and at £120 its also pretty cheap.
Another factor is what system this graphics card will go into. Have you a pretty up to date machine?
