Dell Inspiron 23 2350 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
How do you know if your desktop video card is failing?
- The monitor depicts fragmented images
- The PC freezes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to show up when booting up
- The video card driver does not seem to install properly
