Dell Vostro 220 Video Card
There are two types 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. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard.
What are the signs that the graphics card is dying?
- Your display produces fragmented images
- The computer crashes when starting a game
- The display does not turn on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver has issues installing like it should
