Lenovo ThinkCentre M55E-9642 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
Easy warnings of a poorly performing video card
- The graphics on your screen shows nothing
- The PC crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to show up as you boot the PC
- The driver has issues installing correctly
