Dell Dimension 2300 Video Card
All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard.

- Your display depicts weird colors or images
- Your Dell restarts when beginning a game
