Lenovo 3000 9682 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics 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, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Hints your desktop graphics card is not going to last much longer
- The graphics on your screen shows stretched or elongated pictures
- The desktop reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always come on as you boot the PC
- The driver has issues installing fully
