Lenovo ThinkCentre 6139 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, in general. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.

- The graphics on your screen shows vertical or striped lines
- The computer crashes when beginning a game
