Lenovo H500S Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
Signs of a weakening graphics card
- The monitor shows colors that are all wrong
- The computer crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always show up when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card has problems installing fully
