Lenovo ThinkCentre 4163 Video Card
Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Clues to watch for to know the display adapter is on its last leg
- Your display shows colors that are all wrong
- The PC reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always show up when starting the computer
- The video card driver does not seem to install correctly
