Lenovo 3000 9685 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of graphic 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. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.
Major clues of a declining video card
- The monitor shows weird colors or images
- The Lenovo 3000 9685 reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to turn on when booting up
