Dell PowerEdge R200 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. A graphics card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results.
How do you know when your display card is about to go out?
- The graphics on your screen depicts nothing
- The PC reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to show up when booting up
- The video card driver has problems installing properly
