Lenovo ThinkCentre 8468 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. 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. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.
Some warnings the display adapter needs replacing ASAP
- The graphics on your screen depicts colors that are all wrong
- Your Lenovo reboots when starting a game
- The display does not turn on as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing all the way
