Compaq DX2400 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. There are really only two kinds of video 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. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Warnings the video card has very little life left
- The monitor displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The desktop reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to come on when booting up
- The driver does not seem to install fully
