Lenovo ThinkCentre 2756 D7U Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. 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. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
General indicators that your the display adapter is dead
- Your display displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The Lenovo ThinkCentre 2756 D7U crashes when starting a game
- The display does not show up when starting up
