Lenovo ThinkServer 1045 Video Card
A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of graphic 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. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Major clues of a worsening video card
- Your display shows vertical or striped lines
- The computer restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not come on when starting the computer
- The driver does not seem to install fully
