Dell PowerEdge 650 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results.
Indications of an unhealthy graphics card
- Your display displays vertical or striped lines
- The desktop restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not come on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install like it should
