Packard Bell ixtreme M5801 Video Card
A video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Key signs of a barely functioning graphics card
