AMD APU vs Discrete Graphics

Solution
AMD APU shares system memory with the CPU. The iGPU is not as powerful as a dedicated card.
iGPU will always be inferior to a dedicated card. dedicated cards use much faster RAM than system memory (DDR3/4 vs GDDR5)
a dedicated card will have more hardware to throw at the problem.

if you are only playing hearts and chess then an iGPU/APU is the choice for you.


iGPU= integrated Graphics processing Unit
