Intel SE7520BB2 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds 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, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general.
Major clues your display card is in dire need of a replacement
- Your display shows fragmented images
- The computer restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always show up as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing fully
