Lenovo NetVista 6823 Video Card
There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
Simple indications of a failing video graphics card
- The graphics on your screen produces vertical or striped lines
- The PC freezes when starting a game
- The display does not show up as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card has problems installing fully
