Lenovo ThinkServer TS100 6431 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. A graphics card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general.
Easy warnings of an unhealthy desktop video card
- Your display depicts stretched or elongated pictures
- Your Lenovo reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always turn on when starting up
