Dell Inspiron 530B Video Card
A video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. 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. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
What symptoms are present when the graphics card is about to stop working?
- The monitor displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The PC reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not show up when starting up
- The video card driver has problems installing fully
