Lenovo IntelliStation 6223 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Signals the video card should need replacing
- The graphics on your screen displays lines
- Your Lenovo crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to show up when booting up
- The driver does not seem to install correctly
