Progress in the field of computing is evolving so rapidly that many things that only yesterday seemed a fantasy is now becoming reality. For example, hardly a dozen years ago anyone could seriously think that integrated video card will become a mandatory attribute of the modern computer, as an audio codecs AC97 and replaced them Audio HD.

Perhaps every computer owner knows, it looks like the graphics card. This is a relatively small fee (although there are exceptions) with two rows of sliding contacts, which it connects to the connector on the motherboard. These types are called discrete. But the onboard video card – this is a completely different design solution. If a curious user wants to find on the motherboard a graphics card, then it immediately nothing could be obtained. onboard video cardBuilt-in video card – it is a large chip on the motherboard, often with its own radiator. However, this constructive solution has been recently used less and less. Improvement of process technology for the production of semiconductor transistors (22 nm or less) made it possible to integrate computing and Executive blocks for the video card on the CPU chip. Thus, to see how it looks built-in video card, just look, for example, Intel Core generations, Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge. Part of its crystal is only represented by the video card. If on the motherboard there are connectors for connection of the monitor, there is an onboard graphics card.

Compared to discrete models, the advantages are obvious:

- low power consumption;

- fewer noisy fans;

- 100% compatibility with the CPU;

- to save on buying another card.

disable integrated graphicsBy the Way, the lack of PCI-E 16 connector almost certainly indicates the presence of embedded solutions. The only drawback – in some cases performance of such a solution may not be enough. Still, on a separate device can accommodate more processing blocks than on the single crystal cores of the processor. If the user is not interested in modern computer games, the built-in card – the best choice. Sometimes a littledriver for integrated graphics to improve performance you can, simply by installing the new driver for the integrated graphics. They need to be downloaded from the websites of manufacturers - NVidia, Intel or AMD (the most popular). Alternative solution: go to the website of the motherboard manufacturer and look up the corresponding driver for your motherboard. However, this does not guarantee you are getting the latest version.

If the owner of the computer for any reason are not satisfied with the performance of the embedded device, it is possible to purchase and connect to the motherboard discrete graphics card (with proper connector). In this case, it is recommended to disable integrated graphics, which  will allow the release of the reserved resources. The interrupt is released, a part of the RAM, turns off power built-in video card, decreasing the total power consumption. This should go into the BIOS (often pressing DEL immediately after turning on the computer), find the item Integrated or Onboard Video and switch it to Disable status (Ban, Disable).
