Acer Aspire M3640 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking.
What to see if the display adapter is on its last leg?
- The graphics on your screen depicts fragmented images
- Your Acer crashes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you boot the PC
- The driver cannot install like it should
