Dell Precision T5610 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. 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.
Key clues of an ailing video card
- Your display displays colors that are all wrong
- Your Dell restarts when starting a game
- The screen does not always come on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card has issues installing fully
