The GTX 1080 is Nvidia’s new flagship graphics card. It features the new 16 nm (down from 28 nm) Pascal architecture. This is the first die shrink since the release of the GTX 680 at which time the manufacturing process shrunk from 40 nm down to 28 nm. In terms of typical 3D gaming performance the 1080 is around 30% faster than the GTX 980 Ti and it manages to deliver the additional performance with a TDP of just 180 Watts which is 70 Watts less than the 980 Ti. The new Pascal architecture delivers a satisfying jump in performance over Maxwell and the GTX 1080 is now the fastest single GPU available. Over the coming months older generation cards will likely see significant price drops as the better value for money 1070, 1060 and 1050 cards slowly replace their predecessors. [May '16GPUPro]
Integrated graphics found in NVIDIA chipsets, mostly from Apple. The GeForce 320M, though outdated, can still put up a fair fight against graphics cards like the HD 6450. Overclocking is easy and very good on this iGPU, making tasks like watching YouTube a lot easier.
Benchmarks:
Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion (1280 x 800 medium 2x)
~ 40 FPS
GTA V (540 x 400 normal no shadows)
~ 30 FPS
Minecraft 1.17.x (Fancy, 8 chunks, optifine)
~ 50 FPS (Bottlenecked by CPU)
Unfortunately, these are usually paid with low-powered Core 2 Duo's.
