Lenovo IdeaCentre B510 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
Clues to watch for to know the display adapter will not live much longer
- The monitor displays weird colors or images
- The computer crashes when beginning a game
- The display does not come on when booting up
- A driver for the video card has issues installing fully
