Lenovo ThinkCentre 2929 Video Card
A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
Major symptoms of a poorly performing desktop video card
- The monitor displays vertical or striped lines
- The computer crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not turn on as you boot the PC
- The driver does not seem to install correctly
