Acer Veriton 7600GTR Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated 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, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A graphics card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Hints of a defective display adapter
- The monitor displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The computer freezes when beginning a game
- The display does not show up as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver fails to install fully
