Acer AcerPower M461 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Major symptoms the video card will not last the year
- The graphics on your screen shows fragmented images
- The desktop reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to come on when starting the computer
- The driver has problems installing all the way
