Dell PowerEdge R220 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. A graphics card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.
Signs your desktop graphics card will need to be replaced
- Your display produces weird colors or images
- Your Dell reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not show up when booting up
- A driver for the video card cannot install all the way
