Acer Veriton S670G Video Card
Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
How do you know when your video graphics card is about to stop working?
- Your display depicts vertical or striped lines
- The computer restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to come on when starting up
- The video card driver has issues installing properly
