Key Points on GPU and Graphics Card

• GPU vs Graphics Card

  • GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a chip that processes visuals for computers.
  • The GPU is housed within the graphics card.
  • The graphics card encompasses the GPU and additional components like a printed circuit board, video memory, connectors, fans, etc.

• Types of GPU Usage

  1. Integrated Graphics
     • Built into the processor and connected to the computer's main circuit board.
     • Shares memory with the CPU.
     • Less powerful but energy-efficient.
  2. Dedicated/Discrete GPU
     • More powerful and boosts performance.
     • Has its own circuit board, memory, fans, providing independence.
     • Connected via PCI Express card to the main circuit board.

• Important Distinction

  • GPU is the chip processing graphics.
  • Graphics card is the complete unit including the GPU and supporting components.

• Conclusion

  • Understanding these components can help make informed decisions about computer performance upgrades.
