Intel S5520SC Video Card
Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
Indications of an ineffective display card
- The monitor produces bits and pieces of the desktop
- The Intel S5520SC crashes when starting a game
- The display does not show up as you attempt to boot up
