Lenovo ThinkCentre 7005 Video Card
Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard.
How do you know when your graphics card is on its last leg?
- The monitor displays nothing
- The PC freezes when starting a game
- The display does not show up when booting up
- The video card driver fails to install like it should
