Intel S5500WB Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, in general. A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard.
Signs the video card is going to die
- The graphics on your screen shows weird colors or images
- Your Intel freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always turn on when booting up
- A driver for the video card cannot install fully
