Gateway E-5400 Video Card
Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, in general. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Main clues the video card has little time left
- The graphics on your screen depicts bits and pieces of the desktop
- The Gateway E-5400 crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always show up as you attempt to boot up
- The driver does not seem to install all the way
