Compaq AlphaServer DS20E Video Card
A graphics card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Major signs of an inadequate graphics card
- Your display depicts colors that are all wrong
- The PC reboots when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you attempt to boot up
- The driver has issues installing like it should
