Dell XPS 18 1820 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. There are really only two kinds of video 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.
Simple signals the video graphics card will have to be replaced
- Your display displays vertical or striped lines
- The desktop reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to come on when starting the computer
- The driver does not seem to install all the way
