Dell PowerEdge 1800 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
Key indicators that my desktop video card needs to be replaced?
- Your display displays colors that are all wrong
- Your Dell crashes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to come on as you attempt to boot up
- The driver does not seem to install all the way
