Lenovo 300GL 6288 Video Card
Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A graphics card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. 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. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking.
Indications your desktop graphics card will need to be replaced
- The monitor displays stretched or elongated pictures
- Your Lenovo restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not show up when booting up
- The driver has problems installing fully
