Dell PowerEdge R415 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. 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. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system.
Important clues of a defective display adapter
- The monitor produces colors that are all wrong
- The desktop freezes when starting a game
- The screen does not always turn on as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card has issues installing all the way
