Lenovo ThinkCentre 6177 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video 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. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
Key signs to watch for in a failing display card
- The monitor produces bits and pieces of the desktop
- The desktop restarts when starting a game
- Nothing seems to show up as you boot the PC
- The driver has problems installing correctly
