Dell Inspiron One 19T Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Major clues the video card will need to be replaced
- Your display produces fragmented images
- The computer freezes when starting a game
- The screen does not always come on when starting up
- A driver for the video card cannot install properly
