Gateway GR380 F1 Video Card
There are two types of video 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, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system.
Easy warnings of a bad video card
- Your display displays stretched or elongated pictures
- The desktop reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always show up as you attempt to boot up
- The driver cannot install like it should
