Acer Aspire T630 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, in general.
Major signs of an unhealthy desktop video card
- The graphics on your screen depicts nothing
- The PC crashes when beginning a game
- The display does not come on when booting up
- The driver fails to install correctly
