Lenovo C205 Video Card
Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Clues your display card will need to be replaced
- Your display displays colors that are all wrong
- The Lenovo C205 reboots when starting a game
- The screen does not always show up when starting up
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install fully
