    An integrated graphic card is a chip on the motherboard while a dedicated graphic card is an adapter

    card inserted in a slot on the motherbaord.

    A dedicated graphics card has its own RAM and Processor specifically for processing video images, and thus offloads this work from the CPU . This makes it a better graphic card.

    An integrated graphic card depends on the system's Ram memory which can slow down your computer.

    Graphics chip usually has a small quantity of embedded memory and takes some of the system's main RAM, reducing the total RAM available. This is usually called integrated graphics or on-board graphics, and is low-performance and undesirable for those wishing to run 3D applications. A dedicated graphics card on the other hand has its own RAM and Processor specifically for processing video images, and thus offloads this work from the CPU and system RAM
