Dell OptiPlex GX110 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
Key signs of a defective graphics card
- Your display shows nothing
- The PC crashes when beginning a game
