Acer Veriton 3600V Video Card
Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system.
Important signs your desktop graphics card will not last the year
- The monitor produces stretched or elongated pictures
- Your Acer reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to turn on as you boot the PC
- The driver has issues installing like it should
