eMachines EL1320 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results.
General indicators that your the video card will have to be replaced
- The monitor displays vertical or striped lines
- The desktop crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not come on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver has problems installing properly

A eMachines EL1320 video card will be better for your desktop in new condition for a variety of reasons, including wear and tear on any older used one. Be sure to always order parts from a known seller if you buy anything online. It is always best to re-check the part number before buying a video card replacement. The eMachines desktop will be better off for buying the right way!
