Lenovo ThinkServer 2579 Video Card
A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
Major symptoms of a faulty video graphics card
- The graphics on your screen shows vertical or striped lines
- The desktop crashes when starting a game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you boot the PC
- The driver does not seem to install like it should
