Compaq Prosignia 320 Video Card
Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results.
Important signs the video card needs replacing
- The monitor shows fragmented images
- The Compaq Prosignia 320 restarts when beginning a game
- The screen does not always turn on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver fails to install fully
