Lenovo ThinkServer TS200 6529 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Clues of a failing desktop video card
- The graphics on your screen displays nothing
- The desktop freezes when beginning a game
- The display does not turn on when booting up
- The video card driver has issues installing properly
