Dell OptiPlex SX270 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
Simple warnings that your display card is on its last leg?
- The monitor depicts nothing
- The computer reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not come on when starting the computer
- The video card driver fails to install like it should
