Acer Veriton 5100 Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Do you know if your graphics card is on its last leg?
- The monitor produces nothing
- The computer crashes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to turn on when starting up
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install like it should
