eMachines EL1200 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
Indications the video graphics card is dead
- Your display produces stretched or elongated pictures
- The computer crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to come on when booting up
- The driver has issues installing correctly
