Lenovo IdeaCentre B300 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, in general. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
Important signs the video card has very little life left
- Your display produces fragmented images
- Your Lenovo restarts when starting a game
- Nothing seems to show up when booting up
- The driver fails to install like it should
