Dell PowerEdge T710 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. All video cards computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
What symptoms are present when the Dell video card really needs to be replaced?
- Your display depicts bits and pieces of the desktop
- Your Dell crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not turn on when starting up
- The video card driver fails to install fully
