Lenovo ThinkCentre 1990 Video Card
A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Major signs the video card is failing
- The graphics on your screen shows fragmented images
- The Lenovo ThinkCentre 1990 reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not come on when starting up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing properly
