Lenovo ThinkCentre 8099 Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed.
Symptoms your display card is in need of replacing
- The graphics on your screen displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The desktop crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not come on when booting up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing all the way
