Dell PowerEdge R905 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. 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. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system.
Symptoms the display adapter will eventually need to be replaced
- Your display depicts fragmented images
- The PC freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to show up as you boot the PC
- The video card driver fails to install properly
