Lenovo IntelliStation 6227 Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
Key signs of a poorly working desktop video card
- The graphics on your screen depicts fragmented images
- The computer crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always come on when booting up
- A driver for the video card has issues installing like it should
