Dell PowerEdge 830 Video Card
Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard.
Subtle cues of an inadequate display adapter
- Your display shows vertical or striped lines
- Your Dell crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always come on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver cannot install like it should
