Lenovo ThinkCentre 8190 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. A graphics card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic 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. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
How do you know if your display card is dying?
- The monitor shows stretched or elongated pictures
- Your Lenovo reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always turn on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card has issues installing correctly
