Intel SR6850HW4 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Symptoms your desktop graphics card will die soon
- The monitor depicts bits and pieces of the desktop
- The desktop reboots when beginning a game
- The display does not turn on when starting the computer
- The driver does not seem to install properly
