Lenovo ThinkCentre 6138 Video Card
A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system.
Major indications the video graphics card is in need of replacing
- Your display produces vertical or striped lines
- The Lenovo ThinkCentre 6138 reboots when beginning a game
- The screen does not always turn on when starting up
- The driver cannot install all the way
