Lenovo C50-30 Video Card
Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
Clues to watch for in a failing video graphics card
- Your display displays vertical or striped lines
- The PC reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always turn on when booting up
- A driver for the video card cannot install all the way
