Lenovo ThinkServer 2577 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
Clues to watch for to know your display card is on its last leg
- Your display depicts fragmented images
- The Lenovo ThinkServer 2577 crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always turn on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card fails to install all the way
