Acer Veriton M261 Video Card
Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. A graphics card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
What are some indications that my video graphics card is crapping out?
- The graphics on your screen displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- Your Acer freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always show up when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install like it should
