Lenovo NetVista 6058 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
Major clues your desktop graphics card will not live much longer
- The monitor depicts fragmented images
- The computer reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not turn on when booting up
- The video card driver has issues installing fully
