A dedicated graphics card is located on the motherboard of a laptop in the form of a separate chip. Compared to an integrated graphics card, it's more powerful, so it's better suited for playing games and working in graphics heavy applications. However, dedicated graphics cards require more efficient cooling and reduce battery life. They are usually found in larger and heavier laptops.
An integrated graphics card is embedded directly into the processor. While they do not achieve such high levels of performance as dedicated graphics cards, the battery of a laptop equipped with an integrated graphics card will last longer. Devices with this type of graphics cards are suitable for office work and multimedia entertainment, but they are not ideal for running graphics-intensive games and programs.
For everyday office activities, the fully integrated graphics chip will be sufficient, but for graphically demanding tasks, we recommend a dedicated (separate) graphics card. Laptops include graphics cards NVIDIA and AMD, which are suitable for seamles work in intensive graphics programs and for games.
The graphics card chip is the basic building block that determines the graphics performance of a device. Memory size (GB), speed (Mhz), and the number of processors play a key role in selecting a graphics card.
