All other things being equal, embedded chipsets will perform more poorly with HLSL due to memory contention with the CPU. (Emphasis on "more": it's possible depending on your specific configuration an embedded GPU may work out for you). That said, you don't need the latest cards either. Something like an Nvidia GTX280 or AMD 4850 (both of which are the top-end card from 2 generations back) should perform well for HLSL even at very high resolutions and be pretty inexpensive. (Anyone care to confirm/deny?)
