Lenovo 300 6344 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, in general. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results.
Major symptoms of a weakening graphics card
- The monitor shows colors that are all wrong
- The PC reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not show up when starting up
- The driver fails to install correctly
