Whats a video card?and how do you install it?

i was instalinn minecraft then it said bad videocard whats a video card?|||A Video card is an addon to your computer. It has a standalone graphics processor to render and decode video signals. Whereas a CPU that is already sitting inside your computer is mainly for computation and not designed for rendering graphics.



You can easily install a video card by opening up your desktop case and plug it into your PCI-E slot on your motherboard.



NOTE: make sure your motherboard has a PCI-E slot and not an AGP slot because all the graphics cards that are available in the current market are PCI-E and not AGP.



If you want, PM me with your CPU model and I should be able to tell you what sort of cards are available to you.|||It is a circuit board that you plug into an available slot of the same type(PCI/AGP/PCI Express. You also have to have an empty slot, of course. And yes, you have to remove the cover on your desktop computer to get at the slot. make sure there is plenty of airflow around this new circuit board. When you put it back together, plug your video cable into this new slot in the back of your desktop computer and go ito the BIOS screen and select the new card as your video card if auto detect fails. Disable the old card, if it cannot be removed or is on the motherboard. If you get nothing, but beeps, the card does not work of is incompatible or broken. I think laptop Video cards cannot be changed or updated. Before you change the card, check pricing, it may be cheaper to simply buy a whole new desktop computer.|||A graphic card is a long and fat *** rectangle thats on top of your motherboard.
