Lenovo NetVista 6643 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, in general. There are two types of video 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. A graphics card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
Key indicators that my display card has to be replaced?
- The monitor shows stretched or elongated pictures
- The computer reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not come on when booting up
- The video card driver has problems installing all the way
