Dell Inspiron 660 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. 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. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
How do you know if your desktop video card is in need of a replacement?
- Your display shows lines
- Your Dell crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not show up when starting the computer
- The driver cannot install all the way
