Dell Precision Workstation 380 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
Major signs the video card should be replaced
- Your display shows nothing
- The PC restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always turn on when starting the computer
- The driver cannot install fully
