In this video, we will talk about the difference between Integrated and Dedicated Graphics
0:04
But before that, let's understand what is GPU GPU stands for Graphics Processing Unit
0:09
GPU is used for Graphics Processing in Laptop and Desktop For example, if you are watching a video in Laptop
0:16
or if you are gaming, the graphics rendered there or if you are doing video editing, you have added animation, transitions, effects etc
0:26
GPU processes all the graphics related work I will explain how it works later
0:33
Later, I will explain the difference between Integrated and Dedicated Graphics First of all, GPU sends the instructions related to graphics to GPU
0:43
GPU processes all the instructions related to graphics After processing the instructions, GPU sends it to the display
0:51
and then you see the information on the display Now, let's talk about Integrated Graphics
0:56
Integrated Graphics is integrated with CPU There is no separate unit To process graphics, Integrated Graphics requires RAM
1:06
The RAM in your system will be 16GB or 32GB So, it will use a portion of that RAM for processing graphics
1:14
It does not have its own RAM There are other names for Integrated Graphics
1:18
like Onboard Graphics or Shared Graphics Integrated Graphics is also called IGPU
1:25
For example, Intel Iris Xe and AMD Radeon Vega 8 are also Integrated Graphics
1:32
Now, let's talk about Dedicated Graphics Dedicated Graphics is a separate unit
1:36
Dedicated Graphics has its own RAM which is called VRAM Full form is Video Random Access Memory
1:43
So, when Dedicated Graphics has to process graphics it uses its own VRAM
1:50
The RAM installed in your system is not used by Dedicated Graphics
1:54
You might have seen it in the specifications Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 4GB Graphics
2:01
This is 4GB and it is VRAM Another name for Dedicated Graphics is District Graphics
2:06
It is also called DGPU For example, AMD Radeon RX 7600 and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 are also Dedicated Graphics
2:19
For Desktop, Dedicated Graphics has fans for cooling But for Laptop, Dedicated Graphics has fans for heating
2:34
Let me explain the difference between Integrated and Dedicated Graphics First, Integrated Graphics is integrated with CPU
2:42
while Dedicated Graphics is a separate unit Integrated Graphics uses RAM for processing
2:51
while Dedicated Graphics has its own RAM which is called VRAM Let me explain the difference between Integrated and Dedicated Graphics
3:00
Integrated Graphics is less powerful it consumes less power and Integrated Graphics generates less heat
3:07
Dedicated Graphics is more powerful it consumes more power and it generates more heat
3:16
If you have Integrated Graphics, you will get more battery backup and if you have Dedicated Graphics, you will get less battery backup
3:24
In terms of price, Integrated Graphics is cheaper In terms of display, Integrated Graphics is more expensive
3:36
Generally, Dedicated Graphics is more expensive If you are a user who needs more battery backup
3:45
and if you want to do office work and if you want to do browsing in your laptop and if you want to use your laptop normally
3:50
and if you want to do lightweight gaming in your laptop then Integrated Graphics will be a better choice for you
3:56
If you are a user who wants to do graphic intensive tasks heavy video editing
4:01
better gaming and wants to use all the software available for 3D modeling
4:06
then Dedicated Graphics will be a better choice for you Some laptops have Integrated and Dedicated Graphics
4:15
I will explain why it is there but before that If the laptop has only Integrated Graphics
4:21
it will be low in cost and it will provide more battery backup
4:25
To check which laptop you have just search Task Manager then go to the Performance tab
4:32
and you will see GPU If you have both Integrated and Dedicated Graphics
4:37
you will see two If you have only one then you will see only one
4:41
and you will see the name of the GPU So this is my laptop
4:44
You can see here GPU 0 and GPU 1 So this AMD Radeon is Integrated
4:51
and this NVIDIA RTX 3050 is Dedicated Graphics So this laptop has both
4:55
Now I will tell you the benefits of having both Low end tasks
