Questions about the integrated graphics card in the notebook

Web 2D gaming integrated graphics cards should also run.

2D games are no problem, don't miss the performance of the platform and CPU corresponding to the 950 graphics card.

If you don't play games, an integrated card is perfectly fine, but it's better to use a discrete graphics card.

Because a person doesn't just do one thing with a computer. When surfing the Internet, you can use the integrated display, and the power consumption is relatively low. And when playing games, use a discrete graphics card. Another aspect is that CPUs are becoming more and more powerful, and they can do things that were previously only possible with graphics cards.

I have never encountered a situation where dual graphics cards will cause some systems to be incompatible. Now it is basically possible to switch hotly, or even intelligently. Unless you encounter a power outage during the game and force a switch back to the integrated graphics card (which can be avoided through settings), this extreme situation will cause the software to report errors and freeze.

The two types of cards are very different, playing games have high requirements for the graphics card, and the integrated graphics card sometimes has low resolution and insufficient speed. There are problems with visuals and fluidity.

Anyway, the integrated graphics card is to play a fight landlord or something.,It's like a flying car barely can.,If it's a fairy hunt.,World of Warcraft can't be played at all.,Not to mention double open.。 So I personally think that discrete graphics cards are good and practical.

Take Lenovo G450 (Windows 7 operating system, AMD graphics card) laptop as an example, the setup method is as follows:

1. Right-click on the blank space of the desktop and select the "Show Card Properties" option.

2. Then click "Switchable Graphics Card Global Settings" in the power supply.

3. Select "Maximize Performance" in "Application Global Settings", and the computer will always use the discrete graphics card.

Analysis: The chip performance of the integrated graphics card itself is average, and there is no independent video memory, sharing memory, resulting in a burden on CPU and memory resources.

Discrete graphics cards are better. The performance of the chip itself is relatively powerful, and the advantages of independent video memory are very obvious. It is suitable for users who have high requirements for graphics, such as playing games that require smooth graphics.

After all, the laptop is not primarily used for gaming, it stands out for mobile performance.

Buying a laptop configuration is often not the most important factor. It is necessary to comprehensively consider the design of the notebook and the quality of the product. Some laptops design the hard drive under the palm rest, and the result is very hot to use (such as the Dell Latitude D600), which is a design flaw.

In order to reduce costs, some notebooks use low-grade and low-quality materials, such as many low-cost notebook shells not only have a poor feel, but also are very brittle and not strong, and cracks are easy to appear when bumped. There are even leaks in the four corners of the computer (personal experience).

So I suggest that you can choose to configure the low point, but also buy a *** one. In the future, the salvage value will be relatively high when selling second-hand.

The graphics card of this book is divided into independent and shared, but unlike the desktop, the discrete graphics card of this book is soldered to the motherboard, and it is generally not possible to replace it at present.

At present, there are three designs of the independent graphics card of this book: Hall Li Yi is soldered, that is, the mobile chip is directly soldered on the motherboard, this scheme has a complex design but takes up little space, and is mostly used in thin and ultra-thin notebooks. The second is pin-compatible, that is, the shift chip launched by the graphics chip manufacturer is fully pin compatible with the previous generation of chips, so that the notebook manufacturer can reduce the design time without redesigning its existing electric grinding spine module.

The third is the module form introduced by ATI and NVIDIA, which includes a shape-shift chip and video memory, which is soldered to the motherboard through the contacts on the bottom of the module. But these three have one thing in common, that is, they can't be changed at will. And there is a fatal drawback:

There is often a long time between the launch of a product and the launch of the corresponding laptop.

Although the graphics card of this book cannot be replaced at will, NVIDIA recently released the standard architecture of the MXM (Mobile PCI Express Module) laptop graphics card module that can be upgraded. If this standard is popularized and applied, then the graphics card of the notebook can be easily replaced as the desktop in the future.

And it greatly shortens the time from design to market. Although the adoption of this standard has been met with resistance from more parties, we believe that in the near future, I will be able to easily change the graphics card of my laptop.

There are several cases, depending on which one you belong to:

First of all, you need to know that the computer is an integrated graphics card, a single graphics card or a dual graphics card, and the method is as follows:

Right-click "My Computer", select "Properties", there is a "Device Manager" on the left side of the pop-up dialog box, click in to find "Display Adapter", click on it to see. As shown in Fig

Another way is to check your own computer model through **, and look at the introduction on the Internet to know whether the computer is a set display, a single display or a dual graphics card.

1. The computer itself does not have a separate display, only a centralized display. Then your computer can only use integrated graphics, just like mine.

2. The computer has a separate graphics card, but it can only use a centralized graphics card (dual graphics card). If the dGPU can't be used, the driver is not installed, take a closer look at whether the driver is installed. If you have installed the computer, you can use the GPU.

It should also be emphasized here that the dual graphics cards need to be set up, because under normal circumstances, the computer is the default global integrated display configuration, all can be set to use the global independent graphics card, or you can set a certain application to be used by the independent graphics card.

Right-click on the blank area of the computer desktop, find "nvidia settings" in the pop-up menu, and click in to see the settings item. Just do it yourself and find out.

It is possible that you do not have a driver installed on the GPU.

If you have a dedicated graphics card installed on your computer, you can set whether to enable the integrated graphics card in the BIOS.

If it is a late-stage CPU, it generally has a core graphics card instead of motherboard integration, but it is also integrated, and the performance is comparable to that of an ordinary independent display.

The integrated display has low cost and low failure rate, suitable for office, Internet access, less heating, and strong battery life. Not suitable for playing 3D games.

Set the graphics card disable on the motherboard.

1. After booting up, the system will use the integrated display or core display by default.

2. The system will decide whether to switch the GPU according to the load of the running application. Of course, if you have set the Always use the GPU working state, there is no switching problem. Set the entrance, enter the control panel of the independent display, and set up the 3D.

3. High-end game laptops support dual-card firefight mode, and low-end books are not to be discussed.

No, the system will recognize that you are running in the program, and automatically call the graphics card type according to the program, for example, if you open Word on the Internet, you are using an integrated graphics card, and large 3D games will automatically call the independent graphics card. It's all called at the beginning of the program,There is no integration and discrete display firefight during operation,Unless your book is very, very good,It is recommended that you set up the program that needs to start the independent display in the graphics card control panel。 Right-click on the desktop, pop up the control panel of the independent display, enter the 3D settings, and start your own personality settings!

The integrated graphics card of the notebook is generally integrated into the CPU, sharing the system memory, using it as the video memory, the performance is average, and it can meet the needs of daily playing small online games, watching web pages and watching movies, which is more power-efficient and has low heating.

The independent display of the notebook is generally soldered to the motherboard, with its own independent video memory, with strong performance and can meet most needs, but the heat is higher and the power consumption is faster.

They are automatically switched, and if you want to use the dGPU regularly, you need to enter the control panel of the dGPU and set it up in 3D. But it is not recommended, after all, the power consumption and heat generation of a discrete graphics card is much greater than that of an integrated graphics card.

You don't need to know so much, using the computer as a tool will bring infinite benefits to your work and life!
