Lenovo IdeaCentre K415 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results.
Simple indications of an ailing video card
- The graphics on your screen produces nothing
- The desktop reboots when starting a game
- Nothing seems to come on as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install correctly
