Lenovo ThinkStation 2555 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Do you know if your graphics card is not working properly?
- Your display displays weird colors or images
- The desktop restarts when beginning a game
- The screen does not always come on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install correctly
