Gateway 955 Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general.
What signals that my graphics card is almost dead?
- The graphics on your screen depicts fragmented images
- Your Gateway crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to turn on when starting up
- A driver for the video card cannot install correctly

A Gateway 955 video card is best purchased in new condition due to possible wear on an older one. It is always best to write down the OEM part number so that you correctly order the right video card. Your Gateway 955 will be happier for buying the right part! Be sure to always order computer products from a site you know when you buy your parts online.
