How to switch from integrated video card to a discrete video card?

∙ 6y ago
If you have a dedicated graphics card slot on your motherboard (the circuit board as other peeps call it) you can insert your discrete video card in (there are many videos on how to install video cards into AGP or PCI slots) and then install the drivers either from the internet or the ones that came with the box. Finally, hook up your monitor onto whatever port you use and your computer should identify it as a graphics card.
Depending on the Hardware, System software, and BIOS, you may be able to install the new video card and it will be automatically used instead of the integrated version. If it is not recognized, there may be a BIOS setting to disable the integrated video hardware, or there may be a switch or jumper setting on the motherboard to accomplish this. There is even a possibility that both will be usable concurrently each with its own monitor.

What is graphical integration?
An integrated graphic processor as oposed to a discrete graphic processor. Graphic processor is the same as a video card. Integrated video cards: Integrated video cards are built-in to the system motherboard and use the system's processor (CPU) and memory to create graphics. They're fine for applications such as word processing and email and for the internet, but not great for gaming or other graphic-intensive applications. While integrated video cards can process some complex graphics such as 3D images, they have to share the CPU and memory with other programs. If the CPU and memory are overloaded or busy processing other information, it can really slow down the graphics. Discrete video cards: Discrete video cards turn up the performance compared to integrated video cards. They are separate, or discrete, from the motherboard and have their own processor, a specialized graphics processing unit, or GPU. They don't have to share the CPU with other programs. Discrete video cards include memory of their own, measured in megabytes (MB). Graphics memory is used by the GPU to accelerate the graphics on your monitor and make gaming, movies and other entertainment intensely realistic. In general, the more memory the graphics card has the better.

What is on board video used for?
On board video, or better known/told as integrated graphics, is a 'graphics card' found in a CPU. Most Intel CPUs have integrated graphics in them. It just means a graphics card is not required, and video devices (such as a monitor) are plugged into the video ports of a motherboard.
Does Asrock motherboard have Pixel shader?
Pixel shader technology is part of your video card and its drivers. Unless your motherboard has integrated video, it has nothing to do with pixel shader. If your asrock motherboard has integrated video, find out what kind of integrated video it has & post a new question with that info.
Can you upgrade an integrated video card?
No. That's what "integrated" means; it is built into the system and cannot be removed. Depending on the type of system, you may be able to install a card to supplement or replace the integrated card's functionality, but you cannot physically remove or replace the chip.
