Lenovo ThinkCentre 5237 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. A graphics card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
How do you know if your display card is in need of replacing?
- The monitor displays vertical or striped lines
- The desktop freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always show up as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install properly
