Compaq Presario 7360 Video Card
Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video 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 usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
Indications of a poorly working display card
- Your display produces lines
- The desktop restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you boot the PC
- The driver has problems installing correctly
