Lenovo BladeCenter 8677 Video Card
There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Signs of a weak graphics card
- The monitor displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The desktop restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not show up when starting the computer
- The driver cannot install fully
