Dell PowerEdge 1400 Video Card
A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
Subtle hints your display card is dead
- The graphics on your screen displays stretched or elongated pictures
- The PC reboots when starting a game
- The display does not come on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card has problems installing all the way
