Dell PowerEdge R810 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. 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 is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Subtle cues of an ineffective video graphics card
- Your display displays lines
- The desktop restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to turn on when booting up
- The driver does not seem to install fully
