Acer AcerPower S280 Video Card
Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
Major warnings the video card will eventually need to be replaced
- Your display displays stretched or elongated pictures
- The computer crashes when starting a game
- Nothing seems to turn on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card has issues installing all the way
