Apple Workgroup Server 8150 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.
Important clues of a laboring display card
- Your display depicts lines
- The desktop reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always come on when starting up
- A driver for the video card fails to install all the way
