Lenovo ThinkCentre 8123 Video Card
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. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
What are some hints that my graphics card is failing?
- The graphics on your screen displays colors that are all wrong
- The PC crashes when beginning a game
- The screen does not always show up when starting the computer
- The video card driver fails to install properly

It is in your best interest to re-check the model number before placing an order for a new video card. The Lenovo desktop will be happier if you purchase parts smartly! Try to always get electronic parts from a site you know if you buy anything online.
