Lenovo ThinkCentre 8146 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.
Key signs to watch for in a bad display card
- The monitor depicts nothing
- The desktop restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not come on as you boot the PC
- The driver cannot install fully
