Gateway E-6000 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. 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. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. All video cards computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system.
Clues the video card needs a replacement ASAP
- The monitor displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The desktop restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not show up as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card has issues installing all the way
