Why does your graphics card matter?
– GPU’s capabilities
• video editing
• encoding video
• computer-aided design/manufacturing 
(CAD/CAM) 
• Gaming
How Graphics Cards Work
• The graphics card accomplishes this task using 
four main components:
– A motherboard connection
– A processor to decide what to do with each 
pixel on the screen
– Memory to hold & store information about 
each pixel
– A monitor connection for final output
How to Choose a Graphics Card
• Mobile vs. desktop:  Gaming laptops use discrete 
GPUs as they are optimized to fit
• Integrated vs. discrete:  
– Integrated graphics tend to be low-performance 
options with high power operating option.
– Discrete graphics cards are relatively low-cost 
but optimized to fit.
Advantages of Installing a Graphics Card
• Better Gaming
• Better Video Performance
