Dell OptiPlex E1 Video Card
Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Signs your display card will have to be replaced
- Your display displays colors that are all wrong
- The desktop crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always show up as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver cannot install correctly
