Lenovo ThinkServer RD120 Video Card
A graphics card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, in general. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
How do you know when your desktop video card is about to go out?
- The graphics on your screen depicts lines
- The desktop freezes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to come on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver fails to install fully
