Acer Altos R510 Video Card
Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input 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 graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Key indicators that my Acer video card really needs to be replaced?
- Your display produces colors that are all wrong
- Your Acer crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to turn on when booting up
- The video card driver has problems installing properly
