Dell PowerEdge 1950 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Subtle hints the display adapter is going out
- The graphics on your screen displays stretched or elongated pictures
- The desktop freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to show up when starting up
- The video card driver cannot install all the way
