Introduction to computer hardware brands Graphics card.

It's hardware. Connected to the monitor.

A discrete graphics card is hardware, plugged in on the motherboard, and the output is connected to the display.

Hardware, depending on what you are mainly used for, how much **? Online? Big game? Or is it just an office?

A computer's graphics card is hardware, and the driver is software.

Hardware, you can buy another piece and plug it in, pay attention to the interface type (now the mainstream is PCI-E; The older ones are AGP); If you don't understand, it's best to take the machine to change it (find someone who understands it, so as not to be deceived).

Independence and integration, generally speaking, independent is better than integration, but now the better integrated graphics card is about the same as the entry-level independent display, and it also saves money, there is no big problem in playing a small game and entry-level 3D games, and it is necessary to be independent when playing large 3D.

The detection of the graphics card can also be achieved through the everestpro software, which can detect the graphics card's display chip frequency, video memory frequency, video memory bit width and other items, which is very comprehensive (see the figure below), which can clearly show you whether the book has shrunk on the graphics card.

In addition to the detection of hardware specifications, the detection of graphics cards also depends on its practical application effect, which can be tested by the famous 3DMark01 software, through this test can also detect the stability of the entire system, if you can't run the whole test, it means that there are some problems in compatibility or stability. The 3DMark01 software needs to be installed, and the entire installer is relatively large, with nearly 40MB, but dealers generally have this software. After installation, the interface of the software is as follows, click on the "benchmark" item to start the test.

After the test, 3DMark01 will give your graphics card a score, pay attention to whether this score matches the score that the graphics card should have, and users can inquire online in advance about the score of each graphics card under 3DMark01. It should be noted here that if the battery test is used, the final score is much lower than the normal score, such as the ATI 9600 graphics card using the battery score is only more than 3000 points.

Of course, you can also bring 3DMark05 software for testing, as for the test method is similar to 3DMark01, it is no longer verbose.

There are 3 types of information that I know.

Discrete graphics card (needless to say).

Onboard integration (no need to share memory to the graphics card).

Integrated graphics card (to share memory to the graphics card).
