Dell PowerEdge R420XR Video Card
Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
Major symptoms your desktop graphics card will soon need to be replaced
- The graphics on your screen shows colors that are all wrong
- The computer crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always turn on when starting the computer
- The driver has issues installing properly
