Dell Dimension 4400 Video Card
A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general.
What to see if the Dell video card needs to be replaced?
- The monitor produces stretched or elongated pictures
- The Dell Dimension 4400 reboots when starting a game
- The display does not show up when starting the computer
- The driver fails to install correctly
