lol...

I'd imagine from the rest of the spec and model number its integrated.

But I can't trawl through all that to check!!

irlrobins

I think it has onboard intel graphics card as I can't see a separate card listed.

StillBallygowan

Could possibly be a nVidia GeForce 6200.

you should be able to enter the service tag and it will tell you what was installed

That's what I did and that's I list I pasted above.
Different reviews on the web list different graphics cards for this pc, how would I know if it was integrated?

irlrobins

Right click on desktop, choose properties. Click on settings tab, then on advanced button. Choose the adapter tab and it will list your graphics card details.

BigCon

Cheers lads for the quick replies - turns out it is integrated after all.
Would any graphics card be better than an integrated one, or would it have to be a upper level one to make a difference (for gaming)?

irlrobins

Integrated cards are generally the worst cards you can get (gaming wise anyway). They often use your system memory instead of having their own dedicated memory chips.

So any new graphics card will prob be an advantage. Just check to see if you have a slot free in your Dell for one. Should be a PCIe x16 free in it.

TerrorFirmer

Integrated are very poor - you're talking playing new games on all low settings if even at all in some cases.

Any decent card that was made in the last 2 or 3 years would probably be better then integrated.

If your system is pci-e, even the dirt cheap low end models like the nvidia 6200 or ati x550 (aout 50 quid each) would yield much better results.

But if its gaming you want, you're looking at spending at least 150 quid to get a decent new card that will play games well.
