Compaq Evo D300V Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, in general. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
What symptoms are present when the desktop video card is dying?
- The graphics on your screen produces weird colors or images
- The desktop restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always show up when starting up
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install correctly
