Lenovo PC 300GL Video Card
Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results.
Some warnings your desktop graphics card is in need of replacing
- The monitor shows stretched or elongated pictures
- The Lenovo PC 300GL restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not turn on as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card has issues installing all the way
