Lenovo ThinkCentre 8162 Video Card
All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Cues of an unhealthy display card
- The monitor displays weird colors or images
- The desktop crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to show up as you attempt to boot up
- The driver has issues installing like it should
