Lenovo ThinkServer TS200V Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking.
Major clues your desktop graphics card will have to be replaced
- Your display shows weird colors or images
- Your Lenovo restarts when beginning a game
- The screen does not always turn on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card has issues installing fully
