Acer Altos G310 Video Card
Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
Hints of a faulty display card
- The graphics on your screen shows stretched or elongated pictures
- Your Acer crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to come on when starting the computer
- The video card driver does not seem to install fully
