Lenovo C560 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. All video cards processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Key symptoms of a poorly performing video card
- Your display produces fragmented images
- The Lenovo C560 freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always show up as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card fails to install all the way
