Lenovo 300GL 6268 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
Clues the video graphics card will not live much longer
- Your display shows vertical or striped lines
- The PC freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not come on when booting up
