Lenovo Erazer X510 Video Card
There are really only two kinds 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. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A graphics card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed.
Some clues of a bad display adapter
- The monitor shows fragmented images
- The PC restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not show up as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card has issues installing properly
