Lenovo ThinkCentre 6072 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
What happens when my graphics card is crapping out?
- Your display displays colors that are all wrong
- The computer restarts when beginning a game
- The screen does not always turn on when booting up
- A driver for the video card fails to install like it should
