Lenovo ThinkServer RD430 Video Card
A graphics card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed.
Major signs the display adapter will have to be replaced
- Your display shows lines
- The desktop freezes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to show up as you boot the PC
- The driver has issues installing fully
