Apple Power Macintosh G3 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of graphic 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 pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard.
Simple warnings that your desktop video card is on its last leg?
- The graphics on your screen displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The PC reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not come on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver fails to install properly
