Dell PowerEdge 860 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
Some warnings of a bad display card
- The graphics on your screen depicts fragmented images
- The computer restarts when starting a game
- The display does not show up when starting up
- The driver cannot install like it should
