Lenovo ThinkServer 1043 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Main clues the display adapter needs replacing
- The graphics on your screen displays colors that are all wrong
- The Lenovo ThinkServer 1043 crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always come on when starting the computer
- The video card driver cannot install properly
