Dell Dimension 3100C Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types 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. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Hints of an ineffective video card
- The monitor shows lines
- The desktop restarts when beginning a game
- The screen does not always turn on as you boot the PC
- The driver fails to install like it should
