Lenovo ThinkCentre 3026 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
Major indications of a deteriorating desktop video card
- The monitor depicts bits and pieces of the desktop
- The desktop freezes when beginning a game
- The screen does not always show up when starting up
- The video card driver fails to install fully
