Compaq AlphaServer GS80 Video Card
There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. A graphics card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed.
General indicators that your display card will have to be replaced
- Your display displays colors that are all wrong
- The PC reboots when starting a game
- The screen does not always turn on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver has problems installing correctly
