What is a discrete graphics card vs enhanced graphic card?
Currently, there are two types of graphics solutions available in the computer industry. The first and more common solution is integrated or UMA graphics, while the second is known as discrete graphics. Integrated graphics shares resources with the system processor (CPU) and system memory to display information onto the display. While integrated is capable of some 3D calculations, the shared resources may not deliver an optimal solution. By contrast, discrete graphics cards utilize a separate (or discrete) graphics processing unit (GPU) and as such, have separate graphics memory but some mainstream discrete graphics still borrow from the system memory. Because this separate graphics solution unburdens the CPU and system (memory, overall system performance generally can see a significant improvement when running applications that utilize graphics. One such utilization is (i) Windows Vista Home Premium with Aero enabled. While it is possible to run Windows Vista Home Premium with integra
