Lenovo C470 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
Signs the video graphics card should need replacing
- Your display shows colors that are all wrong
