Acer Altos G510 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Indications of a weak video graphics card
- The graphics on your screen displays nothing
- The computer crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not come on when starting the computer
- The video card driver does not seem to install fully
