Gateway FX542X Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Main clues your desktop graphics card will die soon
- The graphics on your screen shows colors that are all wrong
- The PC reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not turn on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card cannot install fully
