Graphics card is an
expansion card which generates a feed of output images to a display (such as a
computer monitor). Frequently, these are advertised as
discrete or
dedicated graphics cards, emphasizing the distinction between these and
integrated graphics.Not everyone buys a graphics card for their PC. This is because many
people think that do not need it and the onboard graphics can serve
their purpose. Well they may be correct to some extent but having a graphics card (even an entry level one) has its own
advantages and benefits which I am going to discuss next in this
article.
Richer Gaming Experience
Increase in Computer Performance
The performance of your computer will surely increase by having a graphics card. This is because of the following two things:
1. Takes Load Off from CPU
An on-board graphics solution is generally dependent on CPU for all
the graphical processing and calculations, so a part of the CPU remains
engage in providing graphics, which can reduce the overall performance
of a CPU and thus the whole system. A Graphics Card does not depend on
the CPU and has its own GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) for performing
all the graphics related operations and processing.
2. Free Up System Memory (RAM)
An onboard graphics solution takes up the system memory (RAM) for
storing all the graphics information & data which can reduce a part
of your total system memory. Whereas a graphics card has its own
memory for performing all the graphics related tasks and processing.
Performance Increase in 3D Applications & Softwares
If you are a graphics designer or uses high end graphics and 3D
applications like phototoshop, maya, heavy video editing tools etc. then
having a graphics card can really speed up your work and you also get
better performance & accurate results in these high-end graphics
applications and tools.
Better Video and HD Experience
If you watch lots of HD and Blu-ray movies then a graphics card can
really enhance your experience in watching high definition videos and
movies.
Better Driver Support
