Dell Studio XPS 7100 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, in general. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
Subtle hints the video graphics card is in need of replacing
- Your display produces stretched or elongated pictures
- The PC reboots when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card cannot install correctly
