Dell Precision T3610 Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.

- Your display displays colors that are all wrong
- The computer reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not come on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install correctly
