Dell Inspiron 2200 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Key indicators that my graphics card has gone bad?
- The monitor shows stretched or elongated pictures
- The Dell Inspiron 2200 reboots when starting a game
- The screen does not always show up when booting up
- The driver has problems installing fully
