Gateway 7400 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
Key indicators that my desktop video card is about to fail?
- The graphics on your screen shows nothing
- The PC reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not turn on when starting up
- The driver cannot install properly
