Lenovo Horizon 2S Video Card
A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system.
Major clues of a poorly performing desktop video card
- The monitor depicts nothing
- The desktop crashes when starting a game
- The screen does not always come on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver has problems installing correctly
