Lenovo Erazer X700 Video Card
A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of graphic 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. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system.
Key symptoms of a worsening display adapter
- The monitor produces stretched or elongated pictures
- The computer freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not turn on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card has issues installing fully
