Dell OptiPlex 740-DT Video Card
A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Some clues the display adapter will not last the year
- Your display shows nothing
- The desktop reboots when starting a game
- The screen does not always turn on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver cannot install fully
