Lenovo ThinkCentre 3039 Video Card
Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
Important signs the display adapter is going out
- The monitor displays fragmented images
- The desktop freezes when starting a game
- The display does not turn on when starting the computer
- The video card driver has issues installing correctly
