Lenovo ThinkCentre 7144 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
What are some hints that my desktop video card is about to fail?
- The graphics on your screen displays lines
- The desktop crashes when starting a game
- The screen does not always turn on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card has issues installing fully
