Lenovo ThinkCentre 7354 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. All video cards processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
Major indications the video graphics card will soon need to be replaced
- Your display displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The PC reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to show up as you boot the PC
- The driver fails to install like it should
