Asus CM1735 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed.
Symptoms your desktop graphics card needs replacing
- Your display depicts vertical or striped lines
- The PC restarts when beginning a game
- The screen does not always come on when starting up
- The video card driver fails to install fully
