Lenovo ThinkCentre 6176 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
Some clues the video graphics card has to be replaced
- The monitor depicts stretched or elongated pictures
- The desktop crashes when starting a game
- Nothing seems to show up when starting up
- The video card driver has problems installing all the way
