Dell PowerEdge R410 Video Card
Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. 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 video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed.
Major warnings the video card should need replacing
- Your display displays weird colors or images
- The desktop freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always come on when booting up
- The video card driver has issues installing like it should
