Lenovo ThinkCentre A57 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Signs your desktop graphics card needs replacing ASAP
- Your display displays colors that are all wrong
- The computer restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always come on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card cannot install correctly
