Lenovo ThinkCentre 6086 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
Simple indications of a failing display adapter
- The graphics on your screen displays nothing
- The PC restarts when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to come on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card has issues installing fully
