Dell PowerEdge SC420 Video Card
A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. 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. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking.
Major indications the video card is going out
- The graphics on your screen produces vertical or striped lines
- Your Dell reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not show up when booting up
- The video card driver fails to install properly
