eMachines H3120 Video Card
Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
Simple signals the video graphics card is going out
- The monitor shows vertical or striped lines
- The computer freezes when beginning a game
- The screen does not always show up when starting up
- The driver does not seem to install all the way
