Acer Aspire Z3751 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. 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. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed.
What warnings should I watch out for to know if my video graphics card is about to stop working?
- The monitor shows bits and pieces of the desktop
- The computer freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not turn on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install like it should
