Lenovo ThinkCentre 8010 Video Card
All video cards processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
Signals of an inadequate graphics card
- The monitor shows weird colors or images
- The desktop reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not come on when booting up
- The video card driver has problems installing correctly
