Apple Macintosh Performa 600 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, in general. There are two types of video 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. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results.
Some clues the video graphics card needs a replacement ASAP
- The monitor displays vertical or striped lines
- The PC restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to turn on when starting up
- The video card driver has problems installing correctly
