Dell PowerEdge SC430 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
Subtle cues of a poorly performing video card
- The monitor displays stretched or elongated pictures
- The Dell PowerEdge SC430 restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not show up when starting the computer
- The driver cannot install fully
