Lenovo NetVista 6790 Video Card
Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system.
What warnings are present when my graphics card really needs to be replaced?
- The monitor displays lines
- The computer freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not show up as you boot the PC
- The driver has issues installing all the way
