Lenovo ThinkServer RD650 Video Card
All video cards processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. 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. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
Indications of a defective video graphics card
- Your display shows weird colors or images
- The PC restarts when beginning a game
- The screen does not always turn on when starting up
- The video card driver has issues installing like it should
