Lenovo ThinkStation 6439 Video Card
Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Easy warnings of a defective video card
- The graphics on your screen depicts bits and pieces of the desktop
- The desktop crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always show up as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card fails to install properly
