A graphics card (also called a graphics processing unit or GPU) includes a processor and RAM among other components. Having a GPU expands the capabilities of your computer so that it can handle complex graphics with ease. Additionally, you can upgrade a discrete GPU because it is not built directly into a computer’s motherboard the way that an integrated GPU is. This is fairly simple to do with a desktop computer. Laptop computers can be more complicated to upgrade. So, professional hardware installation could be a wise choice if getting a new laptop GPU.
NVIDIA makes some of the top graphics cards on the market. So, if you work on computer graphics and video content or play PC games, then an NVIDIA graphics card will serve you well. By having a dedicated graphics card, you have more RAM dedicated solely to graphics, which can also free up the rest of your computer memory to handle other tasks.
