Acer Veriton 3600 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
Hints of a weak video graphics card
- The graphics on your screen shows fragmented images
- The desktop crashes when starting a game
- The display does not come on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver fails to install all the way
