Lenovo ThinkCentre 7706 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. A video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Major symptoms the display adapter has very little life left
- The monitor produces colors that are all wrong
- The Lenovo ThinkCentre 7706 restarts when starting a game
- The screen does not always come on when starting up
- The video card driver does not seem to install fully
