Lenovo ThinkServer RD220 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
Symptoms the video card should need replacing
- The monitor displays fragmented images
- The PC freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to show up when starting up
- The driver has problems installing like it should
