Tyan Transport TX46 B4881 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
Clues to watch for to know your display card will eventually need to be replaced
- The monitor produces nothing
- The PC crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not turn on when starting up
- A driver for the video card has issues installing correctly

Try to always buy computer parts from a known seller when buying via the internet. Your Tyan server will love you more if you buy smart!
