Lenovo ThinkCentre 7032 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are required 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. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
Subtle hints the video graphics card is in dire need of a replacement
- The monitor produces vertical or striped lines
- The computer crashes when beginning a game
- The display does not show up when starting the computer
- The driver cannot install like it should
