Lenovo ThinkServer RD1206446 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. A graphics card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated 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.
Clues of a weak video card
- Your display produces lines
- Your Lenovo reboots when starting a game
- The screen does not always come on when starting the computer
- The driver fails to install correctly
