Integrated graphics
The integrated graphics card generally does not have video memory, but uses part of the main memory of the system as the video memory. The specific number is generally automatically adjusted dynamically according to the needs of the system. Obviously, if you use integrated graphics to run a large amount of memory space, the impact on the entire system will be more obvious, in addition, the system memory frequency is usually much lower than the graphics memory of the discrete graphics card, so the performance of integrated graphics is inferior to the discrete graphics. With a motherboard that integrates a graphics chipset, it is not necessary to use an integrated graphics card. The motherboard can completely shield the integrated graphics card, but it is rarely done for cost.
Advantages
- Low price
- Good compatibility
- Meet the demand
- Low upgrade cost
- Integrated graphics card means that the chipset integrates the display chip, we don’t need to connect the external graphics card.
Independent graphics
Independent graphics card, referred to as the independent display, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions called independent display cards, refers to the independent card, you need to insert the graphics card on the corresponding interface of the motherboard. The discrete graphics card is divided into a built-in discrete graphics card and an external graphics card.
A discrete graphics card is a graphics card that can be freely plugged and unplugged on a motherboard with a graphics card interface in the form of a separate board. The discrete graphics card has separate graphics memory, does not occupy system memory, and is technically ahead of integrated graphics, providing better display and performance. As an important part of the computer, graphics cards are very important for people who like to play games and professional graphic design.
Advantages
- The discrete graphics card has separate video memory and does not occupy system memory.
- Technically leading, providing better display and running performance.
- And it can display multiple graphics cards inside the computer, and has powerful image processing capabilities.
The difference between discrete graphics and integrated graphics
From the performance power consumption, the integrated graphics feature is generally good, but basically meets some daily applications, the heat and power consumption is lower than the discrete graphics. Although the performance of the discrete graphics card is strong, the heat generation and power consumption are relatively high. In terms of 3D performance, discrete graphics are better than integrated graphics.
The discrete graphics card is easy to determine. A separate card is inserted in the motherboard slot. The interface on the card is connected to the signal cable of the display. Because the integrated chip is integrated in the North Bridge, there is no card, and the interface connecting the display is not on the card. It is usually placed together with the I/O interface of the motherboard backplane.
