All computers have some kind of GPU(graphics processing units). Cheap computers have them integrated into the CPU. So if you want to play high-end games, yes you should invest in a graphics card. other wise, you don't need to have one.
In order to know what the best graphics card a certain PC can handle we need to know the type of PC you are asking about.
Depends on the Graphics card with the PC
Any Windows-compatible graphics card will work as long as the operating system is up to date and your computer's specs meet the minimum requirements.
if you have XP,yes.But you also need Vista for it to work.
A video card (aka graphics card) renders components that are being displayed on your screen. even the windows transparency is rendered by a graphics card. many low end computers have graphics integrated into their cpu. this is not good for 3d gaming. So if you are a hardcore gamer get a laptop/pc with a dedicated graphics card.
By upgrading the graphics card.
There is no way to extend your screen with an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150. The graphics card is simply unable to extend the screen between 2 monitors. I did some research to see if you could, and the graphics card is just incapable of preforming the job. I did find a program that will do this with windows 7 starter, but it cannot with this type of graphics card. ( I have an ASUS Eee PC 1015 PE net book with this graphics card and windows 7 starter.) This problem also doesn't work on Home Premium or any other version of windows (Including Xp) if you have this type of graphics card.
you need a new graphics card
I got the app and it told me that my graphics card wasn't compatible so I upgraded my graphics card but the app is still only recognising my old GPU. My PC is running Windows 7 Home Premium. Is there any way to fix this so that I can upgrade to Windows 10?
The graphics card will be installed into your PC,so if 2 monitors are connected they will both have the graphics.
