Lenovo ThinkCentre 2996 Video Card
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. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
Major clues your display card needs replacing ASAP
- Your display depicts colors that are all wrong
- Your Lenovo freezes when starting a game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver cannot install like it should
