Lenovo 7012 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. A video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external 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 a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Indications of a defective graphics card
- The graphics on your screen displays nothing
- The desktop restarts when starting a game
- Nothing seems to show up when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install like it should

It is always best to check and double-check the OEM part number before buying a video card replacement. The Lenovo 7012 desktop will be happier for buying the right way! Try to always get computer parts from a site you know when you buy your parts online. Lenovo 7012 video card should be purchased brand new due to the wear on any older used one.
