Acer Aspire Predator G7710 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, in general. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
Major clues your display card is going to die
- The monitor produces nothing
- The computer reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always come on as you attempt to boot up
- The driver cannot install properly
