Lenovo ThinkCentre 8136 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Important hints your display card should need replacing
- The graphics on your screen produces fragmented images
- Your Lenovo reboots when starting a game
- The display does not come on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver has issues installing all the way
