Dell PowerEdge 2420 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are two types of graphic 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. All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general.
Simple warnings that your graphics card is almost going bad?
- The monitor produces nothing
- The desktop reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to show up when starting the computer
- The video card driver has problems installing correctly
