Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 Video Card
All video cards processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my graphics card is on its last leg?
- The monitor displays fragmented images
- The Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 freezes when starting a game
- The display does not show up as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card has issues installing like it should
