Lenovo IdeaCentre A700 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. There are two types 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. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
Indications the video graphics card should need replacing
- Your display produces vertical or striped lines
- The Lenovo IdeaCentre A700 crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not turn on when booting up
- The driver has problems installing all the way
