Dell PowerEdge SC1435 Video Card
A video card computes 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 graphics card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. 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, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general.
How do you know when your desktop video card is not working right?
- Your display shows vertical or striped lines
- The desktop crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not come on as you attempt to boot up
- The driver has issues installing like it should
