Lenovo xSeries 235 8671 Video Card
Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed.
Clues the video graphics card needs a replacement ASAP
- The graphics on your screen depicts nothing
- Your Lenovo reboots when starting a game
- The display does not come on when starting up
- The driver has problems installing correctly
