Compaq ProLiant DL380 G2 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed.
Major symptoms the video card will not live much longer
- The monitor shows weird colors or images
- The computer freezes when starting a game
- The screen does not always turn on as you boot the PC
- The driver has problems installing all the way
