Apple Power Macintosh 4400-200 PC Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed. All video cards processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Easy warnings your desktop graphics card should be replaced
- The monitor shows nothing
- The PC reboots when starting a game
- The display does not show up when booting up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing correctly
