Lenovo ThinkServer RD630 Video Card
Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, in general. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
Symptoms your desktop graphics card should be replaced
- Your display shows colors that are all wrong
- The PC restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not show up when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card has issues installing properly
