Gateway FX510 Video Card
Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types 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. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
Do you know if your video graphics card is on its last leg?
- The graphics on your screen produces lines
- The computer restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not show up when starting up
- A driver for the video card cannot install all the way
