Dell OptiPlex GX1 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. A video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general.
Signs of a poorly performing graphics card
- The monitor displays weird colors or images
- The PC restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not show up when starting up
- The video card driver cannot install like it should
