Dell Precision 450 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. All video cards computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results.

- The graphics on your screen displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The PC crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not turn on when booting up
