Lenovo ThinkServer TS100 6434 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
What symptoms are present when the Lenovo video card is crapping out?
- The monitor produces lines
- The computer restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to turn on when booting up
- The video card driver has issues installing correctly
