Gateway 7210 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Signs your display card should need replacing
- The graphics on your screen shows stretched or elongated pictures
- The desktop crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not show up as you boot the PC
- The video card driver cannot install all the way
