Gateway 980 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Important hints the video graphics card needs replacing ASAP
- The monitor shows bits and pieces of the desktop
- The desktop freezes when starting a game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver does not seem to install like it should
