Lenovo ThinkCentre 8109 Video Card
A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
Subtle hints the video card is in dire straights
- Your display shows weird colors or images
- The PC freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always turn on when booting up
- The video card driver has issues installing like it should

A Lenovo ThinkCentre 8109 video card should be purchased in factory new condition for a variety of reasons, including wear and tear on any old video card that may occur. Always buy electronic parts from a known seller if you buy anything online. It is always best to double-check the model number before buying a video card replacement. The Lenovo ThinkCentre 8109 desktop will be happier if you buy smart!
