Apple Power Macintosh 9500 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed.
How can I tell if my display card is about to go out?
- The graphics on your screen depicts weird colors or images
- The PC restarts when beginning a game
- The screen does not always come on as you boot the PC
- The driver has issues installing properly
