Intel SC5600 Video Card
Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.

- The graphics on your screen depicts colors that are all wrong
- The Intel SC5600 freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to show up when starting up
