Lenovo PC 365 Video Card
Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general.
Subtle cues of a deteriorating video card
- The graphics on your screen depicts stretched or elongated pictures
- The desktop crashes when starting a game
- The screen does not always show up when starting the computer
- The video card driver cannot install like it should
