Lenovo ThinkCentre 8192 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard.
Key signs of a weak video card
- Your display produces colors that are all wrong
- The computer crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always turn on when starting up
- The video card driver has problems installing correctly
