Apple Xserve G5 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system.
Simple signals the video graphics card needs replacing ASAP
- The graphics on your screen produces weird colors or images
- The computer freezes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to show up as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card cannot install all the way
