Gateway 9415 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
Clues to watch for to know the video card is not going to last much longer
- Your display shows bits and pieces of the desktop
- Your Gateway reboots when starting a game
- The screen does not always turn on when starting the computer
- The driver fails to install properly
