Lenovo H515 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. 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 graphics card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
What symptoms are present when the desktop video card has to be replaced?
- Your display depicts vertical or striped lines
- The PC freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always show up when starting the computer
- The driver fails to install all the way
