Gateway GR585 F1 Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed.
Simple warnings that your display card has to be replaced?
- The graphics on your screen shows vertical or striped lines
- Your Gateway crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always turn on when starting the computer
