Lenovo ThinkStation 4266 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of graphic 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. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. A graphics card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general.
Key symptoms of a weakening display card
- The graphics on your screen depicts colors that are all wrong
- The PC restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always turn on when starting up
