Pentium G3420 graphics power?

I would say just grab a 2nd hand 7850 2GB and throw in with that.

Yes there will certainally be bottlenecks at time and frame rate would be held back by the CPU, but that would also mean with the spare graphic power, you'd be able to use higher graphic settings than you usually would.

For example, in a game which your CPU (overclocked i5 for example) can put constant 60fps+, a 7850 2GB at Ultra settings may be only be able to push 30-50fps anyway, and if people want higher frame rate, they'd have to lower the graphic settings. Now since the G3420 won't be able to push more than 30-50fps anyway, you might as well run games in Ultra.

There's not much you can do about the situation of improving the frame rate with the G3420, but at least 7850 2GB would be powerful enough for turning up the eyecandy for that kind of frame rate, unlike someone who's targeting contant 50-60fps+.
 
As I read that question differently ill answer it that way so we cover all bases, the iGPU on the G3420 is an Intel HD which is roughly comparable on performance to a Geforce 4 Ti4800 or a Geforce FX 5800 Ultra. Of course it has newer D3D/OpenGL support and other features.

Ah you are probably right. Thought the OP meant what graphic card to pair with that CPU :o
