Gateway E-4650 Video Card
A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. 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. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
Hints to watch for in a failing display card
- The monitor displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The PC restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always come on when starting up
- The video card driver fails to install correctly
