Dell Dimension 4600C Video Card
Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
Hints of a failing display adapter
- The monitor depicts fragmented images
- The desktop reboots when starting a game
- The display does not come on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card cannot install properly
