Dell Precision Workstation 410 Video Card
A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
Major indications your display card is going to die
- Your display produces lines
- The computer freezes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to come on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver fails to install fully

A Dell Precision Workstation 410 video card will be better for your desktop in factory new condition for obvious reasons, including possible wear on any older used one. Make sure to try and purchase parts from a known seller if you purchase through a website. It is always best to note the part number before buying a video card replacement. The Dell desktop will be better off for thinking before buying.
