Asus M51AC Video Card
A graphics card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general.
Signs the video card needs replacing ASAP
- The monitor displays colors that are all wrong
- The computer crashes when starting a game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card has problems installing properly
