Compaq LTE 5150 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
Important clues of a failing display card
- The graphics on your screen displays fragmented images
- The computer restarts when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to turn on when starting up
- The video card driver does not seem to install correctly
