Lenovo IdeaCentre B545 Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, 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 dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.
Warnings to watch for in a failing video card
- Your display displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The PC freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to come on when booting up
- The driver has problems installing like it should
