Dell Vostro 430 Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. 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. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. A graphics card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
Major symptoms of a dying desktop video card
- The monitor displays colors that are all wrong
- The PC crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always come on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver fails to install properly
