Dell OptiPlex 790 Video Card
Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. All video cards computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
Major indications of a defective display card
- The monitor displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The PC reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to show up when booting up
- The driver has problems installing fully
