video vs a video card? Thank you, David |

Video card vs onboard video
In all my years of PC experience, I have never come across an onboard
chipset that worked as well as or better than a separate video card. I even make sure my notebook PCs have dedicated graphics. I suppose if you are not going to do much video watching or game playing and will be using the PC for mundane stuff like documents, email and web surfing, an onboard card would suffice. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "titus12" wrote in message ...

My experiences are different. I develop applications that only use 2D graphics, and I have had terrible performance with some dedicated graphics cards. My present development PC uses an Intel mobo that has integrated graphics for 2 separate displays, and it gives excellent performance. No need for any dedicated graphics. If however you are into 3D games, the situation is probably very different.
