Lenovo NetVista 6825 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
Some clues your display card needs replacing ASAP
- The graphics on your screen shows lines
- The PC reboots when beginning a game
- The screen does not always come on when booting up
- The video card driver has problems installing all the way
