Lenovo ThinkServer RD230 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of graphic 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 Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Hints the video graphics card is dead
- The monitor depicts stretched or elongated pictures

- Nothing seems to come on as you attempt to boot up
