Gateway FX530XG Video Card
A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
Key clues of a barely functioning video card
- The monitor displays lines
- The desktop crashes when beginning a game
- The screen does not always turn on when booting up
- The video card driver cannot install properly
