Lenovo ThinkCentre 2002 Video Card
Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, in general. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
Red flags the display adapter is failing
- The monitor displays nothing
- The PC reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not come on when starting the computer
- The video card driver does not seem to install all the way
