Apple iMac MD096LL-A Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed. 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. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. All video cards computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, in general.
What are some hints that my display card is about to fail?
- The monitor depicts nothing
- The computer crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always come on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver has issues installing fully
