Asus ET2321I Video Card
Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
How can I tell if my display card really needs to be replaced?
- Your display produces colors that are all wrong
- The computer restarts when starting a game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you attempt to boot up
- The driver has problems installing like it should
