NEC PowerMate ML5 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a 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 video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard.
What are some indications that my graphics card will soon go out?
- The graphics on your screen produces colors that are all wrong
- The PC crashes when starting a game
- Nothing seems to show up when starting the computer
- The video card driver has problems installing properly
