Lenovo ThinkStation 2553 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.
General indicators that your desktop graphics card will not live much longer
- The monitor displays weird colors or images
- Your Lenovo restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not turn on when starting the computer
- The driver does not seem to install properly
