Dell OptiPlex GX150 Video Card
A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Subtle cues of an unhealthy desktop video card

- The Dell OptiPlex GX150 freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always come on as you boot the PC
- The driver has issues installing like it should
