Lenovo NetVista 2179 Video Card
Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed.
Simple signals your display card will eventually need to be replaced
- Your display depicts weird colors or images
- The PC freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not show up when starting up
- The video card driver does not seem to install properly
