Dell PowerEdge E05S001 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
What are some indications that my display card needs to be replaced?
- The graphics on your screen displays colors that are all wrong
- The PC restarts when beginning a game
- The screen does not always turn on as you boot the PC
- The driver fails to install all the way
