Lenovo IdeaCentre K200 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. A graphics card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Subtle cues of an ineffective video card
- The graphics on your screen displays fragmented images
- The desktop crashes when beginning a game
- The display does not turn on when starting up
- The video card driver has issues installing like it should
