Dell Dimension 4300 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. There are really only two kinds of video 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, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Major clues of an ineffective video card
- The graphics on your screen shows fragmented images
- Your Dell reboots when starting a game
- The screen does not always turn on when booting up
- The video card driver fails to install properly
