Dell Precision Workstation 470 Video Card
All video cards computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. 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 typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
Cues of a poorly working display card
- The monitor shows vertical or striped lines
- Your Dell crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not turn on as you attempt to boot up
