Lenovo ThinkCentre 8089 Video Card
A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
Major symptoms your display card will die soon
- The graphics on your screen shows colors that are all wrong
- Your Lenovo crashes when starting a game
- The screen does not always come on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card fails to install properly
