Compaq Deskpro 4000N Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
What are the indications that my video graphics card is on its last leg?
- The graphics on your screen shows lines
- The desktop crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to show up as you boot the PC
- The video card driver has issues installing properly
