Dell PowerEdge C2100 Video Card
Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. 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.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my display card is crapping out?
- The graphics on your screen shows nothing
- The desktop crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always turn on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver has problems installing fully
