Acer Aspire T330 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds 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. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my display adapter is dying?
- The graphics on your screen displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The Acer Aspire T330 restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you boot the PC
- The driver fails to install like it should
