Lenovo NetVista 6349 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. 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.
Indications your desktop graphics card is in dire straights
- The monitor displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The PC restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not turn on when starting the computer
- The video card driver does not seem to install correctly
