Lenovo ThinkCentre 6209 Video Card
Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. 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. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Subtle cues of a failing display adapter
- The graphics on your screen displays vertical or striped lines
- The PC crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to show up as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card has issues installing correctly
