Lenovo ThinkCentre 8188 Video Card
Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. 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. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
What are some hints that my video graphics card is almost going bad?
- The graphics on your screen depicts colors that are all wrong
- The desktop reboots when starting a game
- The screen does not always show up when starting the computer
- The driver cannot install like it should
