Lenovo ThinkCentre 5044 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. A graphics card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system.
Signals of a weak graphics card
- The monitor depicts colors that are all wrong
- The computer crashes when starting a game
- The display does not turn on when booting up
- A driver for the video card has issues installing all the way
