Dell PowerEdge R610 Video Card
Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed.
Major signs of a failing graphics card
- The graphics on your screen produces colors that are all wrong
- The desktop reboots when starting a game
- The screen does not always show up when starting the computer
- The video card driver has issues installing fully
