Lenovo ThinkCentre 0810 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video 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. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
Signs of a poorly working display card
- The graphics on your screen shows fragmented images
- The computer crashes when beginning a game
- The display does not turn on when booting up
- The video card driver has issues installing correctly
