Lenovo ThinkCentre 7799 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
Do you know if your video graphics card is about to go out?
- The monitor displays lines
- The desktop reboots when beginning a game
- The display does not turn on as you attempt to boot up
- The driver has issues installing like it should
