Dell PowerEdge 850 Video Card
Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general.
Clues to watch for to know the video card will have to be replaced
- The graphics on your screen shows fragmented images
- The computer restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always show up as you boot the PC
- The driver fails to install fully
