Dell PowerVault 3000I Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Simple warnings that your desktop video card has gone bad?
- The graphics on your screen shows vertical or striped lines
- The computer restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always show up as you attempt to boot up
- The driver has issues installing like it should
