Dell PowerEdge M905 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Symptoms the display adapter is failing
- The graphics on your screen displays vertical or striped lines
- The PC reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not come on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card cannot install all the way
