Lenovo ThinkCentre 5051 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
Major signs the video card is not going to last much longer
- The graphics on your screen produces bits and pieces of the desktop
- The computer freezes when starting a game
- Nothing seems to come on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver does not seem to install all the way
