Acer Aspire X3812 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Signs of a declining display card
- The monitor depicts weird colors or images
- Your Acer reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always show up as you boot the PC
- The driver has problems installing fully
