Lenovo BladeCenter HX5 Video Card
A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. 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 pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Major clues of a dying video graphics card
- The monitor shows weird colors or images
- Your Lenovo crashes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to show up as you boot the PC
- The driver has problems installing correctly
