Dell PowerEdge M610X Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
Warnings to watch for in a failing display adapter
- Your display displays nothing
- The desktop reboots when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to turn on when starting up
- The video card driver has problems installing correctly
