Asus AP1600R-E2 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking.

- Your display depicts colors that are all wrong
- The Asus AP1600R-E2 restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always show up as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing all the way
