Asus RS160-E3-PS4 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. There are really only two kinds 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.
Simple indications of a weak video graphics card
- Your display shows fragmented images
- The PC crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always turn on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install correctly
