Dell PowerEdge M710HD Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
Indications of a defective graphics card
- Your display produces fragmented images
- The computer freezes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to come on as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install properly
