Dell XPS 18 1810 Video Card
Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
Indications of a weakening display adapter
- The graphics on your screen produces lines
- The PC crashes when starting a game
- Nothing seems to turn on when booting up
- A driver for the video card cannot install fully
