A new graphic design application has been released and your company is interested in deploying it to the designers' workstations. As the IT administrator, you must ensure each system meets the minimum requirements for installation. One requirement states the application needs a dedicated graphics card with at least 2GB of VRAM. The designers' workstations currently have integrated graphics. Which of the following is the most appropriate course of action?
Increase the system memory (RAM) to improve the performance of the integrated graphics.
Perform a clean OS installation to ensure that the integrated graphics will meet the application's requirements.
Upgrade the workstations with dedicated graphics cards that have at least 2GB of VRAM.
Install the application on the current workstations without changes, as integrated graphics will automatically allocate the required VRAM.
Upgrading the workstations with dedicated graphics cards that have at least 2GB of VRAM is necessary to meet the application's system requirement for graphic performance. Integrated graphics share memory with the CPU and typically do not provide the same level of performance as a dedicated graphics card, which has its own memory (VRAM).
