Dell OptiPlex GX60 Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results.
Cues of a bad display card
- The graphics on your screen shows fragmented images
- The desktop reboots when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you attempt to boot up
- The driver fails to install all the way
