Lenovo ThinkStation 2552 Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system.
How do you know if your graphics card is almost going bad?
- Your display shows vertical or striped lines
- Your Lenovo restarts when beginning a game
- The screen does not always come on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install correctly
