Lenovo ThinkCentre 5485 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
Major signs the video graphics card will soon need to be replaced
- The monitor displays nothing
- The PC reboots when starting a game
- The display does not show up as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver has issues installing like it should
