Lenovo IdeaCentre Q700 Video Card
There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
Signs the video graphics card will need replacing
- The monitor produces weird colors or images
- The PC crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always come on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card cannot install all the way
