Surprising Performance on Bargain Rig

I thought adding a discrete GeForce 8800 GTS would improve performance on the gamer rig.

Here are the settings with the descrete card

Here it is without it, using the integrated graphics card.

Across the board everything is better by NOT adding the card.

Bummer because I went in there and removed the power supply and put in a higher wattage one.

Wasted effort, but it was not a new power supply.

The PC this is replacing has a GTS 710 which is faster than the integrated processor so I will probably install it in this budget rig.
