Lenovo ThinkCentre 6395 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, in general. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Simple indications of an inadequate display card
- The graphics on your screen displays vertical or striped lines
- The desktop restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to show up when starting the computer
- The driver cannot install correctly
