Lenovo ThinkCentre 7483 Video Card
Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video 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. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, in general. 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.
Do you know if your graphics card needs replacing?
- The monitor produces vertical or striped lines
- The desktop reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to turn on when starting up
- The video card driver does not seem to install like it should
