Dell Alienware ALPHA Video Card
A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. 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. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard.
Do you know if your video graphics card is in need of a replacement?
- The monitor produces stretched or elongated pictures
- The computer restarts when starting a game
- Nothing seems to come on when starting up
- The video card driver has problems installing all the way
