Lenovo ThinkCentre 0889 Video Card
There are two types of graphic 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 video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Key clues to watch for in a failing display adapter
- The monitor depicts bits and pieces of the desktop
- The computer reboots when beginning a game
- The screen does not always turn on when starting the computer
- The driver has problems installing fully
