Gateway E-6300 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Signs of an inadequate graphics card
- The monitor shows nothing
- The computer reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to turn on when starting up
- A driver for the video card has issues installing properly
