Dell Studio 540S Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. 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. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Symptoms the video card is dying
- The monitor displays lines
- The desktop restarts when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card has issues installing fully
