Intel SR1325TP1-E Video Card
Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, in general. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
Indications of a failing graphics card
- Your display depicts fragmented images
- The PC restarts when beginning a game
- The display does not show up as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card has issues installing properly
