Dell XPS 710 H2C Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. A graphics card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Clues of a deteriorating desktop video card
- Your display shows nothing
- The PC restarts when beginning a game
- The screen does not always turn on when starting the computer
- The video card driver fails to install like it should
