Lenovo ThinkCentre 7629 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
Signs the video card is in need of replacing
- Your display depicts colors that are all wrong
- The PC restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to turn on as you boot the PC
- The driver cannot install properly
