Gateway iXtreme 5860 Video Card
Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results.
Some clues the video graphics card needs replacing ASAP
- The graphics on your screen produces bits and pieces of the desktop
- The desktop reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not come on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver has issues installing properly
