Compaq LTE 5280 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.
What to see if the video graphics card is failing?
- The monitor displays colors that are all wrong
- The computer freezes when starting a game
- Nothing seems to come on as you boot the PC
- The driver does not seem to install all the way
