Gateway E-4100 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of graphic 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. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
Hints the display adapter needs replacing ASAP
- The graphics on your screen displays vertical or striped lines
- The desktop reboots when starting a game
- The screen does not always turn on when booting up
- The video card driver has issues installing fully
