Lenovo ThinkStation D30 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
Key signs of an unhealthy desktop video card
- The graphics on your screen depicts colors that are all wrong
- The Lenovo ThinkStation D30 crashes when beginning a game
- The screen does not always turn on as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card has issues installing properly
