Asus EB1033 Video Card
A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of video 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. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
Indications your display card needs replacing ASAP
- The monitor shows weird colors or images
- The desktop restarts when starting a game
- The display does not show up when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card fails to install all the way
