Apple Power Macintosh 6200 Video Card
A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Key clues of a weakening video graphics card
- The graphics on your screen produces nothing
- The desktop freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to come on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card fails to install all the way
