Dell Dimension 2010 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. A video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. 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. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
Major indications the video card is on its last leg
- The graphics on your screen depicts bits and pieces of the desktop
- The computer restarts when starting a game
- Nothing seems to come on when starting up
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install all the way
