Lenovo 300 6343 Video Card
Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. 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.
Clues to watch for to know the video graphics card will die soon
- The monitor shows bits and pieces of the desktop
- The computer crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to show up as you boot the PC
- The driver has problems installing all the way
