Dell PowerEdge R515 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A graphics card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my graphics card has to be replaced?
- The monitor shows stretched or elongated pictures
- The desktop crashes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver has issues installing like it should
