Dell PowerEdge SC1430 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results.
Clues the video card is on its last leg
- The monitor produces weird colors or images
- Your Dell crashes when beginning a game
- The display does not show up as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card cannot install correctly
