Dell PowerEdge T100 Video Card
Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds 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. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results.

- The graphics on your screen depicts nothing
- The computer restarts when beginning a game
- The screen does not always show up when starting the computer
- The video card driver fails to install all the way
