Dell Alienware Aurora ALX Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Major indications of a deteriorating video card
- Your display shows vertical or striped lines
- The Dell Alienware Aurora ALX restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to show up when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card has problems installing like it should
