Acer Altos G901 Video Card
Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
Major indications your desktop graphics card is in dire need of a replacement
- The graphics on your screen shows weird colors or images
- The PC reboots when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to turn on when booting up
