Hi,
I'm thinking of using a spare graphics card to upgrade my friends computer but I couldn't figure out what the exact name of the integrated graphics is called to look up and compare on gpu benchmarks. I will also list the motherboard just in case
Spare graphics card:
EVGA Geforce GTS 250 512MB DDR3
Chipset Core Clock: 756MHz
Cuda Cores: 128
Effective Memory Clock: 2200MHz
Memory Size: 512MB
Memory Interface: 256-Bit
DirectX 10
OpenGL 2.1
Max Resolution: 2560 x 1600
Friend's computer:
Intel Pentium G645 Sandy Bridge 2.9GHz
Intel® HD Graphics
Graphics Base Frequency: 850 MHz
Graphics Max Dynamic Frequency 1.1 GHz
Intel® Quick Sync Video: No
Intel® InTru™ 3D Technology: No
Intel® Insider™: No
Intel® Wireless Display: No
Intel® Flexible Display Interface (Intel® FDI): Yes
Intel® Clear Video HD Technology: No
# of Displays Supported: 2
ASUS P8B75-M LX motherboard
Integrated Graphics Processor
Multi-VGA output support : DVI/RGB ports
Supports DVI with max. resolution 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz
Supports RGB with max. resolution 2048 x 1536 @ 75 Hz
Maximum shared memory of 1696 MB
a 1920 x 1200 max resolution LED monitor
if this makes any difference?
2x 1GB 1333Mhz DDR3 -> to be upgraded to (1x or 2x) 4GB 1600MHz DDR3
**pretty sure the ram will affect how much I can dedicate to the integrated graphics
I've always believed that a discrete/dedicated graphics card was always better; however, the GTS 250 is pretty old and the sandy bridge cpu/gpu is newer so I wasn't positive. It seems like the integrated graphics is better if I max the shared ram that the motherboard will allow?
Sidenote: she does a lot of shopping so opens a ton of tabs/browsers. In S. Korea, these sites are image heavy. Here is an example: http://itempage3.auction.co.kr/BrandDetailView.aspx?itemno=B214224832
Thanks in advance!
PS: the hardest part of posting is selecting an answer. I wish I could select them all
