Lenovo X3650 Video Card
A graphics card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, in general.
Important hints the video card is in dire need of a replacement
- The monitor depicts lines
- The computer restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to come on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver does not seem to install all the way
