Lenovo 3000 9686 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking.
Symptoms your desktop graphics card will have to be replaced
- The monitor produces weird colors or images
- The desktop restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not turn on when booting up
- A driver for the video card cannot install like it should
