Lenovo C540 Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Signals your desktop graphics card is going out
- The monitor depicts fragmented images
- The computer restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not show up as you attempt to boot up
