Lenovo ThinkServer 390 Video Card
Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
Indications of a deteriorating graphics card
- Your display produces stretched or elongated pictures
- The Lenovo ThinkServer 390 crashes when starting a game
- The display does not turn on as you attempt to boot up
- The driver has issues installing like it should
