Intel SR1630BC Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
What to see if the Intel video card is almost going bad?
- Your display depicts fragmented images
- The PC restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always show up when starting up
- A driver for the video card has issues installing correctly
