Lenovo H50-05 Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, in general. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results.
Major signs the video card is on its last leg
- Your display produces stretched or elongated pictures
- The desktop restarts when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to turn on when starting up
- A driver for the video card cannot install all the way
