Gateway 6400 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of graphic 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. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard.
How do you know when your video graphics card is almost going bad?
- Your display produces colors that are all wrong
- Your Gateway crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always show up as you attempt to boot up
- The driver cannot install like it should
