Lenovo H5s 2561 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, 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.
Some clues the video graphics card needs a replacement ASAP
- Your display depicts lines
- The computer crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to come on when starting the computer
- The video card driver has problems installing correctly
