Lenovo ThinkCentre 8715 Video Card
Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results.
Indications the video graphics card is in dire need of a replacement
- The graphics on your screen displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The computer restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not show up when booting up
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install all the way
