Lenovo ThinkCentre 7355 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, 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 you can see the results. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
Major warnings the video graphics card is in need of replacing
- Your display displays colors that are all wrong
- The computer reboots when beginning a game
- The screen does not always show up as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card cannot install correctly
