Asus AP160R-S Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, in general.
Chief elements of a poorly working video card
- The monitor shows weird colors or images
- The desktop restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always turn on when starting up
- The driver does not seem to install like it should
