Lenovo C315 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard 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 video card market, while AMD is in second.
Subtle cues of a bad graphics card
- Your display displays vertical or striped lines
- The PC crashes when starting a game
- The display does not turn on when starting up
- A driver for the video card fails to install like it should
