Apple Macintosh LC 580 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. All video cards computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.
Clues to watch for to know the display adapter will die soon
- The graphics on your screen depicts stretched or elongated pictures
- The PC restarts when starting a game
- Nothing seems to come on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install fully
