Lenovo IdeaCentre K450E Video Card
A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, in general. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Major indications of a deteriorating display card
- The monitor produces lines
- Your Lenovo reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to come on as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card fails to install all the way
