Lenovo ThinkServer 1046 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
Major symptoms the video graphics card is going to die
- The monitor displays lines
- The desktop freezes when beginning a game
- The screen does not always show up when starting up
- A driver for the video card has issues installing fully
