Dell PowerEdge S100 Video Card
A graphics card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
Indications the video card needs replacing ASAP
- The graphics on your screen displays fragmented images
- The PC freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not turn on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card fails to install correctly
