Lenovo 3000 9688 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. All video cards computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of video 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. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
What are the indications that my display adapter is not working properly?
- The monitor displays stretched or elongated pictures
- The desktop crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always turn on when booting up
- A driver for the video card fails to install correctly
