Dell OptiPlex 360 Video Card
Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
General indicators that your desktop graphics card needs replacing ASAP
- The graphics on your screen displays weird colors or images
- The desktop crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to turn on when starting the computer
- The video card driver has issues installing all the way
