Lenovo IdeaCentreK410 Video Card
Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
Clues the video graphics card is on its last leg
- The graphics on your screen produces lines
- The computer crashes when starting a game
- The display does not turn on when starting up
- A driver for the video card fails to install correctly
