Dell PowerEdge 2970 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. A graphics card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results.
Symptoms of an ailing video card
- The monitor shows weird colors or images
- The desktop freezes when starting a game
- The display does not come on when booting up
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install like it should
