The type of graphics card can have a significant impact on the performance and capabilities of your computer. Integrated graphics cards are part of the processor and are generally less powerful but also less power-hungry. Dedicated graphics cards are separate components that provide higher performance for graphics-intensive tasks such as gaming or 3D modelling. Gaming graphics cards are a special type of dedicated card that are optimised for gaming, and offer high performance and advanced features such as support for ray-tracing.
