Lenovo IdeaCentre Q200 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of graphic 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.
Hints the video card will not last the year
- The monitor shows bits and pieces of the desktop
- Your Lenovo freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to turn on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver fails to install properly
