Acer AcerPower F3 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
How do you know when your graphics card is in need of replacing?
- The monitor produces nothing
- The desktop restarts when starting a game
- The screen does not always come on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver does not seem to install properly
