Asus AP1720-E2 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
Signs of a declining graphics card
- Your display displays fragmented images
- The desktop freezes when starting a game
- The display does not show up as you boot the PC
- The video card driver cannot install all the way
