Lenovo ThinkCentre 6066 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking.
Important clues of a deteriorating video card
- The graphics on your screen depicts weird colors or images
- The computer reboots when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to show up when starting the computer
- The driver has problems installing properly
