Acer Veriton M670G Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, in general. 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. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. A graphics card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
Major warnings to watch for in a failing video card
- Your display shows lines
- Your Acer reboots when starting a game
- The display does not come on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver does not seem to install like it should
