Lenovo ThinkServer 2595 Video Card
Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. A graphics card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed.
Major symptoms your desktop graphics card is in need of replacing
- Your display displays nothing
- The computer reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to come on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver has problems installing correctly
