How does a dedicated graphics card and an onboard graphics chipset differ from each other?

∙ 14y ago
Onboard graphics (also known as integrated graphics) typically have lower end specifications than a separate GPU. A discrete GPU has more processing power since it doesn't clog up the CPU and main RAM and generally has more advanced functions (e.g. my current computer uses a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator and cannot play newer games which require Pixel Shader and Vertex Shader since those functions are not supported). Hence, if you have a choice between the two, take the one with a separate GPU.

How does a PCI slot differ from an AGP slot?
Prior to the current PCI Express slots, most peripherals were connected to a PC via PCI slots. PCI is a shared bus. These peripherals could have included a graphics card, a network 10/100LAN card, a sound card, a MIDI card etc. Intel first introduced boards that could connect a graphics card separately through a dedicated slot called an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP). So only a compatible graphics card could be connected there. This was done for performance/bandwidth reasons where AGP provided more performance/bandwidth when compared to a PCI slot. However, with the introduction of PCIE, where lanes and generations provided leapfrogging performance, AGP was obviated on the platform as the cost of supporting an extra port outweighed the benefits of a universal standard slot that could accept any peripheral, not just graphics cards!
How are newer video games differ from older video games?
Newer Video Games have more detailed and more realistic graphics than the early video games (e.g. many early video games used very simple line/dot graphics, the latest video games have near movie quality graphics and some even use 3D goggles to add depth to the experience). This has been due mostly to dramatic advances in the capabilities of graphics generation/processing hardware.
