🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The Intel UHD Graphics is significantly newer (2021 vs 2009). The Intel UHD Graphics likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The Radeon HD 4890 lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The Radeon HD 4890 is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 2.3% higher G3D Mark score and 100+% more VRAM (2 GB vs 0 MB). This advantage makes it significantly better for higher resolutions (1440p/4K) and graphic-intensive titles compared to the Intel UHD Graphics.
