Lenovo ThinkCentre 8702 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results.
What red flags are there that my Lenovo video card will soon go out?
- The monitor produces fragmented images
- The desktop freezes when starting a game
- The screen does not always come on as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card cannot install like it should
