Lenovo ThinkCentre 2982 Video Card
There are two types of video 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. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. All video cards processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
What symptoms are present when the video graphics card is failing?
- The graphics on your screen displays nothing
- The computer crashes when starting a game
- Nothing seems to come on as you boot the PC
- The driver fails to install like it should
