Apple Power Macintosh 5200 LC Video Card
A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Some clues of an ineffective display adapter
- The monitor displays lines
- The Apple Power Macintosh 5200 LC reboots when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you boot the PC
- The driver has issues installing properly
