Lenovo NetVista 2289 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
Key clues of a faulty graphics card
- The monitor displays nothing
- Your Lenovo reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to come on as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card cannot install correctly
