Dell Precision T5400 Video Card
There are two types of video 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 dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system.
Key indicators that my display card is almost going bad?
- The graphics on your screen displays vertical or striped lines
- The PC crashes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to come on when starting the computer
- The video card driver does not seem to install like it should
