Dell PowerEdge C5230 Video Card
A video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, in general. There are two types of video 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. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Subtle cues to watch for in a failing graphics card
- Your display shows stretched or elongated pictures
- The computer restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not show up as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install properly
