Integrated Graphics Processor

6.1Introduction

This chapter describes the integrated graphics processor (IGP) of the HP dc5850 Personal Computer. This graphics subsystem employs the use of system memory to provide efficient, economical 2D and 3D performance.

These systems provide dual-monitor support in the standard configuration and allow two methods for upgrading the IGP:

■Installing a PCIe x16 graphics card in the PCIe x16 graphics slot, which disables the IGP

■Installing a PCIe x1 graphics card in a PCIe x1 slot, in which the IGP can be re-enabled through the BIOS settings

This chapter covers the following subjects:

■Functional description (6.2)

■Upgrading (6.3)

■Monitor connectors (6.4)
