What's your point again? But I don't want just a point - I want some sound arguments which unfortunately you have none. Come again.
I would never again buy anything branded "Gigabyte" or "Leadtek", and reason for that is not because they are "bad quality" products, no, all products I've got from them worked without any problem in terms of functionality (nothing got RMA'd), the problem is that design of those low to mid range components (just to be fair here, no high end products were in my experience with those brands) was so bad, that I had all sorts of problems with them, from input lag created by both motherboards and graphic cards, to stuttering even at high frame rate and so on. Just one example, I remember using two identical GPU's (I think it was FX 5500 back in the days, low end product), one Gygabite and one MSI, with only difference between them of one being with 128-bit memory bus (Gygabite) and other 64-bit bus (MSI) on same PC, same motherboard, same RAM, everything, even clocks of the GPU's themselves. Gygabite GPU would stutter like crazy, regardless of FPS, it did "ghosting" effect on CRT how bad it was, while MSI that was theoretically worse because of 64-bit bus, actually gave picture clean as watter, and maybe GB had better FPS, I really do not know, and I do not care, because why should I care if it is stuttery mess?
Similar things happened with motherboards, where ASUS motherboards and GPU's showed as best option for me personally, yes, some of the ASUS motherboards had some problems, back in k7 area, one of them with via chipset had problems I never had on Gygabite motherboards, mouse would just stop working (PS/2) untill reboot, only a year+ BIOS update partially fixed the problem (not completly, just drastically reduced rate of it happening, from once per few reboots to once per month/few weeks), yet, even such problem is, while not really acceptable, even for low-end product (and this was mid range product), is still better than laggy, simply badly working PC with other one that had no such issues.
So no, chip (GPU/CPU), while still the most important part of some product, is far away from the whole story, especially when manufacturers of PCB do not follow chip designer (AMD/Intel/nvidia etc.) PCB design, but instead use their "custom design" to save money (and let's face it, everyone does it).

What. Even if we count iGPU on Intel as "PC GPU", that doesn't sound quite right.
The issue is why is he even counting iGPUs together with dedicated GPUs at all, they are completely different tools for different jobs.
