GPU FORMS

first of all lets see what is GPU; it is a silicon chipset based controller which helps to render the images/videos faster. it enables to run high definition graphics.

Why GPU?

here we have differentiate between the works of GPU and CPU ; if you have the basic knowledge of any architecture(working) then you will understand that the gpu has 1.parallel processing: i.e. on CPU tasks have different instruction executing whereas on GPU, same instruction execute on different data.

2. core : CPU have few 10s heavy thread whereas GPU is having 1000s of light thread.

3. clock speed: For small programming speed of CPU can be faster than GPU but for Multiple line core GPU is much faster than the CPU.

so coming back to the topic, personal computers have 2 main forms of GPU i.e. Dedicated and Integrated.

Integrated Graphics:

actually these type of cards used to have a bad reputation but this has improved a lot in the recent years.

integrated gpu’s

key points:-

1. used for general computing, including some casual gaming and 4K video watching, but still struggles in some areas.
2. not suitable for graphics- intensive programs.
3. these cards shares memory with the main system memory.(also called shared graphics)
4. If your computer has 4GB of RAM and 1GB of shared graphics memory, you’d only have 3GB of memory available for general computing tasks.
   It does not have independent memory and instead relies on system’s memory for graphics processing.

Dedicated Graphics Card:

these cards are a piece of hardware used to manage the graphics performance of a computer(also called video cards)

NVidia’s Gtx 1080ti (powerful enough to render the high Fps games)

key points:-

1. they contains a GPU chip, some RAM, and a fan to keep it cool.
2. benefits= powerful enough for any task.
3. higher bandwidth and low latency
4. they don't share system memory, and in most systems they are easy to upgrade. but on the negative side, they’re expensive, larger, and generate a lot of heat.
5. allows the processor to perform multiple and bigger task at the same time.

hope you got all points that i mention in my short content on GPU and its forms. if any queries or doubts let me known in comments section.
