  When I bought my current PC a friend of mine had a bit earlier bought
an almost identical one (same motherboard, same CPU, same amount of RAM).
The difference was that he wasn't going to use his PC for gaming, so he
was content with the integrated GPU on the motherboard, while I bought
one of the top GPUs of the time. (Well, another difference was that he
had more hard drives, but that's inconsequential.)

  Because it's not every day that one can test almost identical hardware
setups side-by-side, with the only difference being the GPU, we tested
with a version of 3DMark. The difference in speed was outright astonishing.
His computer ran it at about 1-2 frames per second at worst, while mine
ran it at a comfortable 15-20 frames per second at the lowest (higher on
average).
