Acer Veriton S670 Video Card
Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. A graphics card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
Key clues of a poorly working video card
- The monitor displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The desktop reboots when starting a game
- The screen does not always show up when starting the computer
- The driver has problems installing correctly
