Lenovo 3000 C305 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a 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 a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
Major signs your display card has to be replaced
- The monitor depicts weird colors or images
- The desktop reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always turn on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver cannot install properly
