With a graphic eq you've got fixed frequencies which affect a fixed bandwidth.
In a parametric you can adjust the centre frequency and the bandwidth (Q) it affects.
The advantage of the parametric is that, if you got a wide response hump, you only need one band to 'fix' it where you would have to use may be four or five bands using a graphic ie less processing equals less components in the audio path.
Conversely you may have a narrow spike in the response which does not lie exactly where a graphic has its centre frequencies. A parametric can be adjusted so the centre frequency correlates
exactly to the problem area so you fix only what needs fixing without creating problems in frequencies close by.
The advantage of a graphic is that it is a lot easier to use and you have a graphic representation of what you are doing.
