Gateway 920 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.

- The desktop reboots when starting a game
- The display does not come on as you attempt to boot up
