Lenovo ThinkServer 388 Video Card
A video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Warnings your desktop graphics card will need replacing
- The monitor produces stretched or elongated pictures
- The computer reboots when starting a game
- The display does not show up when starting up
- A driver for the video card cannot install properly
