Acer Aspire M1640 Video Card
A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
Major clues the display adapter is in need of replacing
- The monitor produces fragmented images
- Your Acer restarts when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to show up as you boot the PC
- The video card driver cannot install all the way
