Acer Aspire L3600 Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. A graphics card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, in general. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard.
Subtle hints the video graphics card should need replacing
- Your display shows fragmented images
- The computer crashes when beginning a game
- The display does not show up when booting up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing all the way
