Lenovo ThinkCentre 5046 Video Card
There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Key signs of an ineffective graphics card
- The graphics on your screen shows vertical or striped lines
- The desktop restarts when starting a game
- Nothing seems to come on when starting the computer
- The video card driver cannot install all the way
