I tried asking this question on some sites and none gave me correct and definite answer. My question is regarding the graphic properties and about video card and their types. Integrated graphics, GPU(IGP), is integrated to the motherboard or to the CPU. Intel or AMD/ATI. Right? I have two intel motherboard laptops with integrated graphics. One is Intel i3-380M(Dell, 3GB System RAM), and the other is intel Pentium Dual-Core T4500(Toshiba, 2GB System RAM). Now the graphics properties shows me some things which confuses me. There are 4 different memory: Total Available Graphics Memory(TAGM), Dedicated Video Memory(DVM), System Video Memory(SSM), and Shared System Memory. Now from what I have understood so far, the integrated IGP(GPU) uses the System's RAM when it runs out of memory, that is the Shared System Memory. The Total Available Graphics Memory is SSM + DVM. So, TAGM = SSM + DVM. Right? Now comes the confusing part: What the heck is Dedicated Video memory? Does "Dedicated" here means that the IGP(GPU) is using a part of my System RAM as dedicated for solely graphics? Or the IGP(GPU) is using sideport memory? From what I have seen on other forums, Integrated AMD uses sideport memory which is 64 or 128 MB. Right? If yes, Does Intel Graphics also use sideport memory? And if not, then the dedicated video memory on my Intel based Laptop is using a part of my System RAM? In short, Is the Dedicated Video Memory in integrated(Whether AMD or Intel) a sideport memory or a part of system RAM dedicated for graphic purpose? In either case, can it be increased in Desktops via BIOS? Now, I see Laptops which states AMD R7 Graphics. what is it? Is it Integrated or Dedicated? Because Intel doesn't make Dedicated Video Cards, it's quite obvious that any Intel Motherboard has on-board graphics which is also called Integrated. But what about ATI/AMD and nVidia? They make discrete/dedicated cards and Integrated ones also? How do I distinguish if it is Integrated or Dedicated when it comes to AMD and nVidia? And can a Dedicated video card use System RAM when it runs out of memory?

Is it possible to use a desktop iGPU for some tasks (for example, chrome) and using a dedicated GPU for games? Laptops let you choose from using iGPU or Dedicated card. Does this menu or something like it possible on a custom PC build? -
If you read my other posts, you'll learn that my GPU is defective and I'm waiting for an RMA. I have an MSI A78M-E35 V2 and an Athlon x4 860K, and I was wondering how I can enable to onboard graphics, because I would still like to use my PC while waiting for my GPU to be fixed. In the BIOS, I have dual graphics enabled with memory share set to auto, and IGPU enabled in the settings, yet, while i'm sat here with a HDMI in my motherboard, and a DVI-I in my GPU, only the DVI is displaying anything, and removing the GPU and restarting the PC doesn't display anything. How do I fix this?

EurekAlert reports that Engineering researchers at the Columbia University if Engineering and Applied Science have discovered a way to have a WiFi chip transmit and receive on the same frequency on a single antenna simultaneously, massively increasing the throughput capacity. I think this is great. It can only mean further improvements in wireless technology and the researchers at the university have something to be proud of. EE Times say that funding is being provided so that carriers are encouraged to adopt the technology so that it can be implemented more quickly and hopefully be put into effect relatively cheaply. Interesting stuff. 1. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2016-04/cuso-wcd041316.php 2. http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1329466

Hi, So I'm going to get a graphics card soon and I'm wondering if my method of switching from Integrated to the Discrete card will work correctly: Procedure: (GPU NOT plugged in) Uninstall Intel Graphics Driver from Control Panel > Reboot > Plug in Discrete card > Install drivers > Reboot Will this work? Or must I plug my new GPU in BEFORE I uninstall Intel graphics drivers? I will disable iGPU and I don't want a trace if it left on my system... Any help is appreciated!

OK, I am going to start off by saying i am sorry if this is in the wrong place or already answered (or even seen as an obvious yes/no) I have searched all over the web for the answer to my question, but the only things i can find are talking about using a monitor on integrated and a monitor on a dedicated card at the same time. This is not the question i have. I have a less than ideal Graphics card, and i was wondering if i can get better performance by using both my integrated and dedicated graphics at the same time. Note: i am looking for better performance in rendering and gaming, not a multiple monitor setup. I currently have a 6th gen i7-6700 and a GeForce GTX 745 (which has 4Gb of GDDR3) (I know, I know i bought this pre-built before in understood why i shouldn't have) -
Ok, so this may be a stupid question, but I'm new to the hardware-side of computers. I have a dual-xeon gaming board, and it has an integrated ATI ES1000 gpu. I also have a GTX 750 TI and Radeon R5 220. Now, for obvious reasons, the GTX 750 TI is my daily-use card. My motherboard also doesn't support turning off internal gpu. So in windows when running heaven benchmark, I disabled the driver for the internal gpu in Device Manager to help bring the score down to a fair level. With it on, my score was in the 700s, whereas with it disabled, I got in the 500s. Was this just my 4 am mind seeing things, or did the internal gpu help the performance in the benchmark, and if it did, can I use my Radeon R5 220(yes, a cheap card, ik) as well, causing a marginal increase in games and benchmarks? Thanks for the help, Jacob

(Before you read about the pricing and the availability...I'm from Hungary, so prices may vary) I often get asked to suggest a budget computer build for home use, and I usually suggest an AMD A4 based build (Usually the cheapest one available). When you read that you're like: OMG! One of the worst available processors right now... But it's actually not that bad. 2 cores/threats and an integrated graphics processor that's able to play 1080p. From the feedback I've got it's more than enough for home use. Where I live...You can buy an FM2+ A88X Asus Mobo for about 55$ and pair it with an AMD A4-4000 that costs 30$. If you put it together that's only about 85$. However I'm ALWAYS tempted when I see Integrated CPU motherboards... Such as the Asrock J1900M motherboard, with a 4 core Intel Celeron CPU clocked at 2GHZ onboard...For only around 65$. I know we lose CPU/APU upgradability with the Embedded CPU motherboard, but usually the buyer of such budget computer consider 4 cores a bit overkill already, seeing how they were fine with their E4300 s775 chips for so long. So, what do you say? Was I right suggesting the FM2+ socket mobo with an FM2 APU? Or maybe I should have told them to get that Asrock one? -
Amazon: http://geni.us/1oSK We trashed on low end video cards a few years back and many of you commented on that video saying that we were wrong and stupid. Today we address your points.

I have a integrated graphics card on my laptop and i heard that memery speed and bandwith of the ram affected its speed. They also said that single memory channel was a 128 memory bus whilst dual channel was 256, would this limit my gaming performance and in which circumstances as I only have a single 1600mhz crucial 8gb ram. Would it be worthit to get up to dual channel memory?

Hello All, I've got a set of Sennheiser G4me Ones and i'm wondering if it really would make a difference in the sound quality if I decided to get a External DAC or Soundcard for them. I currently just run the audio through the integrated audio on my Gigabyte Z97x motherboard, the quality seems okay but I kind of feel like there might be something missing from it. I don't really know a whole lot about audio necessarily, but it's still important to me to have a great audio experience. I listen to a good bit of music (mostly high-bitrate FLAC files) and I obviously game quite a bit, so a good and powerful audio experience means a lot to me. To be entirely honest I have absolutely no idea how this Motherboard's audio really compares to others so that's why I'm on the fence about getting a DAC/Sound Card or not. Would it be worth it to get a decent Sound Card/external DAC (preferably one that doesn't break the bank) and if so, why or why not? Massive thank you to anyone kind enough to give me a bit of advice.

Hey all, My coworker and I are having a discussion on what laptops we should get for running our models at work. She is convinced that getting a dedicated gpu on a system with a integrated gpu is pointless because all of the processing that the dedicated gpu does is passed through the integrated gpu thus throttling the dedicated gpu. I am under the impression that the dedicated gpu does all the work and the integrated gpu is essentially disabled. That being said I not exactly sure how the two integrated and dedicated play together so I can't go and tell her for sure (also she might be right, there's a lot of contradicting info on google). So who's right? or are we both wrong? I know you guys love specs so here's what were looking at currently (open to any suggestions like if you know this processor has bad value, etc but I recognize that it's a pretty rockin' laptop): Dell Precision 17 7710 CPU: Intel Core i7-6820HQ (Intel HD Graphics 530) GPU: Nvidia Quadro M5000M 8GB GDDR5 RAM: 32 GB DDR4-2133MHz Storage: 256 GB SSD PCIe and 1TB HDD

Hi, I have recently build a NAS/HTPC combo computer. I first had Kodibuntu running on it with some custom scripts, webmin, samba and some other stuff. However, for some reason the Ubuntu Variation had servere issues with setting the resolution to 480p on a Full HD TV (Not changable because the accept button is off the screen). This caused me to be so fed up with it that I decided to switch to an unraid deployment with windows running in a vm doing all the Kodi stuff (If you are asking why run windows inside of Unraid: AFP doesn't work well on windows). I now have a very weird issue with setting my monitor configuration. For some reason, no matter what I tried, the bios always starts with the GPU (for HW accelleration) as default, although I have set it to IGPU in the settings. A bios reset did not help at all. Hardware Specs: MB: Biostar HiFi A88ZN (Non Wifi) CPU: AMD A8-7650K RAM: 8GB Kingston Drives: 2x Seagate 2TB "China Exclusive" 7200RPM Desktop HDD; 1x 128GB Kingshare SSD GPU: Radeon HD 7770 (Used, fully working, played CIV and TF2 like a champ while I was validating the system.)

The base clock of my iGPU is 1050MHz. I am able to OC it from BIOS, up to 1200MHz : 2 to 10 fps increase, depending on in-game variations. Are there any other ways to OC the iGPU, or just make it perform better in any way? Thanks!

Hello, My father has a PC that he uses for work. He wants to have 2 monitors to improve his workflow however he only has the integrated graphics on the cpu. So my question is if i could buy a really shitty graphics card and run one monitor from the integrated graphics and the other from the graphics card. And also which graphics card would you recommend. Thank you in advance -Xhaku

So I got this computer for around 330- 340 us dollars. It has 8 gigs of ram, AMD APU 7870k overclocked to 4.1ghz stock and 4.5ghz turbo with integrated r7 250 1 gig and assrock fm2a88m-hd+ r2.0. The stock frequency of the gpu is 866mhz but I can overclock it to around 930-940 without any problems(thanks msi afterburner). My question is: Is it worth it getting a second r7 250 for dual graphics(and if yes which version the ddr3 2 gigs one or the gddr5 1 gig one), or getting a new gpu(for example r9 390x)? I have low budget and in my country few people actually sell pc parts(I mean like on ebay) so the "how much time and money does it take" factor is also very important. I'm happy with the processor (it rarely goes over 3.8) but the gpu is not satisfying at all. To get 40-50 fps on AC rouge I had to to lower the resolution to 1024x720p and that's on medium settings. What do you guys think?

This might be a really stupid question, not really sure. My mother is looking to buy a laptop and from my understanding, having a nice GPU doesn't really affect your capability to watch videos. She wants to plug her laptop into an HDTV via HDMI cable and watch movies, however, if the laptop is running at a resolution less than 1080p, I'm wondering if it will be able to process the video in 1080p quality when plugged into the TV with bottom line, entry level, integrated laptop graphics. Would you need the laptop to natively run at 1080 or can any old laptop with Intel integrated HD graphics run videos at 1080p on a different display? Thanks guys. -
What are the advantages of an IGPU and how can I use that?? Can I use it for Physics or something?? I will buy an Intel Core i5-4690 with a Intel HD Graphics 4600 Other thing, What do you think of my build?? https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Luis-KZM/saved/#view=hd6zK8 $14,000 (Not USD tho)

I took out my R9 270 because it was having some really weird problems that I believe are hardware related and sent it to ASUS for an RMA. Even though I didn't touch another single thing in my PC when doing so, now neither of my hard drives will boot into Windows. (One is a cloned backup.) They are both fully functional, I think, because I am still able to boot into Linux Mint 17 on my main drive and both the drives show up, but it doesn't give me the option to boot into anything else. A couple times I switched the SATA cables and power connectors, and once or twice I was given the option to boot into Windows, but after that there would just be a blank screen with nothing but the backlight on. Other times, the option to go into the BIOS wouldn't appear at all and nothing would show on the screen until Linux Mint came up. That's what it's doing now. And, yes, I am using integrated graphics. Could it be a driver issue?

I'm not a computer expert. I was reading a review of the Lenovo ThinkStation P300 Tower Workstation. The configuration reviewed was, in part: Intel Xeon E3-1276 v3 [4 Cores, 8 Threads, 3.6 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo)] NVIDIA Quadro K4000 3GB [768 CUDA Cores, 810 MHz core, 192-bit] In the review, there is a picture of the rear of the tower. You can see on the left-hand side, about half way down, that there is a VGA port and 2 DisplayPorts. Further down the tower (in a card slot), there is a DVI-D port plus 2 additional DisplayPorts. I think that the VGA and the upper 2 DisplayPorts are due to the graphics integrated into the processor; the Intel Xeon E3-1276 v3 has integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics P4600), as this page states. In contrast, I think that the DVI-D port and 2 additional DisplayPorts are due to the NVIDIA Quadro K4000 graphics card. So in some ways, is it accurate to say that the particular configuration in the review has two graphics adaptors: the processor's integrated graphics and the NVIDIA Quadro K4000 graphics card? My question is, since there seems to be this sort of "redundancy" in graphics (although not really, since the Quadro is probably more capable than the processor's integrated graphics), which graphics adaptor will Windows use when it boots? If I had this system, wouldn't I want to somehow disable the processor's integrated graphics, since I would probably want to only use the Quadro? It is possible to configure the Lenovo ThinkStation P300 with a Xeon processor that does NOT contain integrated graphics. For example, the Xeon E3-1241 v3 that Lenovo offers with this system does not contain integrated graphics, as far as I can tell. So another question I have is, if I were to purchase the system with the Xeon (which doesn't have integrated graphics), am I correct in assuming that the VGA port and the top 2 DisplayPorts would NOT be there? In that situation, I would have to convert either DVI-D or DisplayPort to VGA if I insisted on connecting the system to a VGA monitor, right? Thanks so much for your time. -
MBA trackpad and keyboard not working after Optimus install
Xeypax posted a topic in Troubleshooting
Hello, let me get straight to it: The trackpad and integrated keyboard on my 2014 MacBook Air are not working anymore in Windows 8.1 (x64), Bootcamp after I installed Nvidia Optimus on it. Trackpad and keyboard are working if I boot into OS X and I have tried reinstalling the bootcamp support software almost 10 times now. An external mouse or keyboard are required to operate the machine in Windows, but it seems like uninstalling all Bluetooth-drivers makes the MBA detect a keyboard and mouse in Device Manager (see picture below).I have tried installing drivers for them, both manually (with bootcamp software folder) and automatically. Any help would be appreciated as I have been searching for similar issues on the internet for hours now with no luck. :wacko: -
Year and a half ago built a PC. As I'm not a real gamer, Intel 2500 is good enough for me. But recently my PC have started to freeze, when there is load on GPU. For example, after few seconds of playing game everything freezes - PC is unresponsive, sound also freezes and there is buzz from speakers. Even when watching 4K video for few minutes this happens. Reinstalled Windows 7, also tried Windows 8.1. Run CPU benchmarks (temps around 60°C), tested both HDD and SSD, run Memtest86 - everything worked fine. Things started to get interesting, when I installed Ubuntu on my SSD. Easiest GPU test to setup on Ubuntu I could think of was Minecraft. Played it for more than half an hour (max settings) with no problems (CPU a bit more than 60°C), while on Windows it freezes after few seconds. So now I am confused. It could be a hardware problem, as I know that before this I could play some games and everything (maybe without great FPS, but still). Will try your recommendations and answer as fast as I can. Specs: CPU - Intel 3570 MB - MSI B75-43A gaming RAM - 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance Storage - WD Blue 1TB & Kingston 120GB SSD PSU - Corsair MX600M

Hi people, im new here and I came because a problem that has been tormenting me. I own a MSI Motherboard (FM2-A85XMA-E35), CPU APU A-10 5800k (6670 Integrated) and a AMD HD Graphics 7660. I bought my CPU by mistake thinking that my GPU was a 6670 (A stupid mistake), i tried dual graphics but my ram (4gb) isnt that much for the task, also it make me think that both GPUs generating a bottleneck, games doesn't have an horrible performance but it doesnt feels like what it should be. I tried solving this by BIOS but as in the pictures attached there is no opcion to disable this (the pic its from the O/S Bios aplication), Initiate graphics devices options are only "Auto, Dual, Diable". Dual gives me dual graphics, Auto gives me Dual Graphics and Diable gives me as default gpu MY APU 6670!!, I only want my graphic card as default, so if you know something to solve my problem i will be so grateful, thanks

Hi. I've got a question about M.2's Basically, which is faster. an integrated M.2 or a PCIe. For example you are using a Samsung XP941 xGB M.2 NGFF PCIe in a M.2 port that supports 10 Gb/s and you have one that is in a PCIe M.2 Mount(?I am not so sure if that is how it works?). which would be faster? Please I personally have no idea what the difference is so please enlighten me. make me smarter! I believe in you guys! what does the PCIe do? does it do more than a normal integrated M.2 port? Easily said, I am pretty confused. I have the motherboard z97 Pro so I am just wondering how I would benefit from a PCIe M.2, or if the integrated M.2 is just as good. (or even better)

Hey guys, so I have an i7 4770 3.4 GHz cpu with hd 4600 integrated graphics with 1200 mhz stock frequency. I will buy a dedicated gpu later, but until then, i want to use the integrated card. I have already pushed it to 1400 mhz and I was wondering if i will see any change in performance at all? edit: btw my cpu doesn't exceed 70 degrees celsius on the extreme tuning stress test on cpu test, on graphics test, it does not exceed 50 degrees in case that's important. and I am using the stock cpu cooler
