Asus TS500-E4 SERVER Video Card
Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
How do you know if your desktop video card is in need of a replacement?
- The graphics on your screen produces lines
- The desktop reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to turn on when booting up
- The driver has problems installing correctly
