Compaq ProLiant ML370 Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. There are two types of graphic 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. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, in general. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Major indications of an inadequate desktop video card
- The monitor displays fragmented images
- The PC freezes when starting a game
- The display does not turn on when starting up
- The video card driver fails to install all the way
