Dell PowerEdge M605 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as 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. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. A video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
Indications your desktop graphics card is going to die
- The graphics on your screen depicts nothing
- The PC freezes when beginning a game
- The screen does not always come on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver fails to install fully
