Asus TS500-E5 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of video 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. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.

- The monitor displays colors that are all wrong
- Your Asus crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
