Dell Dimension 2350 Video Card
Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are really only two kinds 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. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general.
Main clues your desktop graphics card will need replacing
- Your display shows fragmented images
- The PC freezes when beginning a game
- The screen does not always turn on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver has issues installing correctly
