Dell PowerEdge R210 II Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. There are really only two kinds of graphic 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. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. All video cards processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
What to see if the graphics card is not working properly?
- The monitor produces bits and pieces of the desktop
- The computer restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not turn on as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing all the way
