Lenovo ThinkCentre 3257 Video Card
A graphics card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
Simple warnings that your desktop video card is almost going bad?
- The graphics on your screen displays nothing
- Your Lenovo freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to come on when booting up
- The video card driver cannot install properly
