Dell Precision Workstation 210 Video Card
Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds 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 video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system.
Major clues of a deteriorating display adapter
- The graphics on your screen produces stretched or elongated pictures
- The desktop crashes when beginning a game
- The screen does not always come on when booting up
- The video card driver has issues installing properly
