Dell OptiPlex 780 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
Simple signals the video card needs a replacement ASAP
- The graphics on your screen displays colors that are all wrong
- The PC reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not turn on when booting up
- The video card driver fails to install properly
