This document provides information about different types of graphics processing units (GPUs). It discusses integrated graphics which use system memory, dedicated graphics which have their own video memory, and accelerated processing units (APUs) which combine the CPU and GPU onto one chip. It also describes an example of an Intel CPU paired with an AMD Vega GPU, as well as AMD's Ryzen and FX series APUs.

4. USESOF GRAPHIC CARD
 Animation
 Gaming.
 Design and drafting.
 Special effect creation/ editing.
 And other purpose where fast rendering
and high resolutions are needed.

5. History of graphic cards?
 Graphicswereused with computer
hardwarebeforethefirst graphic card was
invented.
 In 1965, IBM created thefirst graphic
display machine. TheIBM 1130 computer
wasused with theIBM 2250 display unit.
 In 1981, IBM developed first graphic
cards. It had just 2,4 or 16 colors.
 In 1987, first graphic card with 256 colors
wasinvented by IBM.

9. Instruction to install graphicscard
 Remove your current drivers.
 Open up your case.
 Take out your old card.
 Pop in your new one.
 Lock your case back.
 Boot up.
 Install new drives from the graphics card
official websites (ATI/NVIDIA) .
 Reboot after drivers are installed.

10. GRAPHICS CARD
And how they work

11. OVERVIEW
 A graphics card is basically a clever piece
of hardware that is very good at doing a
certain types of mathematical operations

12. CPU vs GPU
and the need of dedicated
GPU
 A CPU works linearly and has a low number
cores which can do different tasks at the
same time
 A GPU works on CUDA and has a large
number of processors dedicated to a
parallel task
 Thus a dedicated GPU is required as most
of graphics contain a group of similar
problems

14.  PCI-E is the bus that the CPU uses to
communicate with GPU
 An API(application program interface)
acts as a gateway between programs and
the GPU
INTERACTION OF CPU WITH
GPU

16. RENDERING IN GPU
 The building block of all graphic objects is
a triangle having vertices in x,y and z co-
ordinates
 Basic operations on these co-ordinates is
done through the help of matrices

18. THE PROCESS
 The cores inside the GPU are called the
shader cores it handles vector and pixel
shading
 Both work in harmony
 Once rendering is complete the
ROP(rendered outputs) tells the pixels
what color to be this process is called
rasterisation

19. CUSTOM EFFECTS
 At this point some custom effects can be added
such as
 ANTI-ALIASING: adds intermediate pixels so that
edges do no look jiggered
 ANISOTROPIC FILTERING: tends to make the
overall game graphics look good
 LIGHTING: controls the shadow quality of game

22. PURPOSE
 EXPLAIN WHAT SLI IS
 HOW ITS USED IN GAMING
TECHNOLOGY
 GO OVER HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
REQUIREMENT

23. WHAT IS
SLI?
• SLI ALLOWS SYSTEM
TO UTILIZE THE
POWER OF TWO
IDENTICAL VIDEO
CARDS FOR A SINGLE
OUTPUT DISPLAY

24. BRIEF HISTORY
 3Dfx FIRST INTRODUCED THE
CONCEPT OF SLI IN 1998
 NVIDIA ACQUIRED 3Dfx
 THE CONCEPT OF SLI WAS PUT ON
HOLD

25. QUAD SLI
• NVIDIA QUAD SLI IS WHEN TWO CARDS ARE
SANDWICHED TOGETHER ON A SINGLE
MODULE

26. CURRENT HISTORY
 IN FEBRUARY OF 2008 NVIDIA ACQUIRED
AGEIA TECHNOLOGIES
 HYBRID SLI WAS ANNOUNCED IN FEBRUARY
 MARCH OF 2008 NVIDIA RELEASED THE
GEFORCE 9800GX2 GPU

27. EXAMPLE OF INGAME GRAPHICS

28. HARDWARE
• GPU HAS TO BE JUST AS FAST AS CPU IN GAMING
• GRAPHIC CARD CAN BE FROM DIFFERENT
MANUFACTURER BUT THEY HAVE SAME KIND OF
GPU

31. SOFTWARE

32. DUAL VS SINGLE
• PERFORMANCE GAINS OF UPTO 1.5 TO 1.9(77% TO 99%)
TIMES WITH SLI
• PERFORMANCE GAINS DEPEND ON HARDWARE COMPONENTS
USED AND THE FORCEWARE DRIVER USED

34. REVIEW AND CLOSE
 SLI USES TWO OR MORE GPUs TO SHARE
THE WORKLOAD WHEN RENDERING A 3D
SCENE
 SLI IS MOSTLY USED IN COMPUTER SYSTEMS
FOR GAMERS TO INCREASE PERFORMANCE
AND IMAGE QUALITY
 TO ENABLE SLI YOU MUST HAVE THE
REQUIRED HARDWARE THAT HAS PASSED
NVIDIA CERTIFICATON AND THE SOFTWARE
TO COMMUNICATE WITH THAT HARDWARE

35. Integrated
graphIcs
An integrated graphics processing unit (GPU) doesn't use its own
RAM; it utilizes the system's memory instead. So, if you have a
computer with 4GB of RAM, the video card can use anywhere
between one and five percent of the available memory for graphics
processing. Of course, this percentage varies depending on the size
of task, especially if you're multitasking or playing a game.

36. dedIcated graphIcs
A dedicated, or discrete, GPU has its own
independent source of video memory, leaving
the RAM your system uses untouched. If you
have a GeForce GTX 980M video card with
4GB of video memory, for example, that
memory is completely separate from your
computer's 16GB of system memory.
Dedicated cards are perfect if you are into
serious gaming or are a professional graphic
designer.

37. InteL cpU WIth aMd Vega
graphIcs
It’s here – one of the most unlikely partnerships in the
semiconductor industry. Long-time rivals Intel and AMD,
battling out of x86 dominance for over 35 years, are now
co-conspirators. Take one part Intel’s high-performance
8th
generation processor core, one part with AMD’s
efficient Vega graphics, mix together with 4 GB of HBM
memory and sprinkle in some high-performance
interconnect.

An Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) combines the CPU
and GPU onto a single chip. The APU was developed by AMD
and initially released under the name Fusion. By combining both
processors onto a single chip, the components are able to
communicate faster and give you greater processing power and
performance. APUs are generally not seen as a replacement to a
standalone graphics card. Instead, they look to replace the GPUs
embedded on the motherboard.
