If I read it correctly the motherboard has the Intel Graphics, right? The nVidia ones are garbage. Policy on DOA boards and refunds.

These boards have the invidia graphics chip and are refurbished units. I bought one, which lasted about six months and then completely fried itself. I would avoid and invest your money elsewhere.

The nVidia chips are not as durable as the Intel chips. At one time Dell extended the warranty on the nVidia motherboards due to the problem with dual images appearing when the chip became too hot. I have never had an issue with the nVidia cards; however, I ensure the fan stays clear of dust. If it were me, I would buy the Intel chip.

Dell shipped the D630 with either of the two graphics - run Dell Diagnostics to find out which one you have.

nVidia graphic card is not good for D630. I installed a new motherboard with the nVidia graphic card and it burned out within a month.

I'm actually on it right now. It read directx 11.1 with exactly 562.2 mb of reserved memory for graphics. It cannot be changed from bios or anywhere else. If it is any consolation, it runs WOW on ultra at 24 fps

Yes, Intel Graphics card if I remember correctly. You can buy a better card for gaming if this is not good enough. Tigerdirect has a wide selection.Amazon may well have cards as well. Enjoy++

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your question. Did your motherboard fail, and if so how long ago did you purchase it?

Graphics specifications rely entirely on what CPU or add-in graphics adapter you may choose to add. Modern motherboards such as this one do not come with a GPU on board.

It seems that someone erased some of the questions and answers to conceal some problems. First, if you upgrade the video card, be aware that if you get a good video card, that it will not fit in the PCI Express slot without removing the Wifi. Very poor configuration on the motherboard. You will definitely need to upgrade the video card as the on board one is very poor and will not be useful for any type of gaming.

All I know is that it says Intel HD graphics 2500, and it plays LoL just fine. As far as high end gaming or video processing goes, I have no idea. Google would be a good place to look. Or if you have a question about results through a specific benchmark test, you can reply to this with the name of the program (assuming it's a free program) and I will run a test when I get home from work

I installed a Nvidia GEForce but the box said it needed a 500 watt power supply. Rather than risk it, I replaced the power supply also. Adds another $60 to the expense. But, it's working.

Update the bios on your motherboard. This will help. The newer Gigabyte graphics cards need the latest bios drivers for your motherboard as well for some reason. The same happened to me on my dell and with my custom witha a Gigabyte motherboard. A more powerful power supply would be recommended as well.

This is weird, because the product info on amazon's site says it is a Nvida GeForce 7399 GT. Amazon, if you are monitoring this, have you changed the graphics card shipped with this desktop?

Yes it does, but just for fun,look here! http://bit.ly/1FgzmV1I'm not being judgmental with that, I just think it's so friggin neat!That's a pretty decent laptop for most light to medium duty applications. The so called video card provided has no on board RAM and leeches from system memory.It's not an improvement on the stupid on-board graphics provided on most Intel boards.It's really not a gaming rig.

zotac sent me two doa cards "dead on arrival" i dont reccomand it,it could be a good card if it was to actually work.there are other pci video cards that i found out they work great HIS Radeon HD 5450 512 MB DDR3 HDMI or Sparkle PC GeForce 8400GS 256MB DDR3 PCI

You can go for a board upgrade since these guys are spooking you. Motherboard HP Pavilion DV7-1000 AMD CPU 486542-001 My partner and I have revived many of these AMD Boards with flux, reballing and paste. Some of them require copper shims as an add on. These are not gaming machines and I think that's where some users exceed the limits.

Yes, works great. Motherboard doesn't make a huge difference for games though really -- get a nice video card, plenty of RAM and CPU and you're good.

Intel is no longer really supporting their motherboards as they are no longer producing Motherboards. I would buy a different board, if I were you. My board was faulty and all they could suggest was a refund of my money, they wouldn't replace it.

^Agreed. I bought this Mobo from Newegg and they tried to screw me. This board was DOA when I bought it. Garbage board, but you get what you pay for.

It is 1 year, but a return for defect at Amazon is 30 days. It's not a very good card even with the 4gig on board. It's not the Nvidia chip, it's another chip on the bd that is not functioning well.
