Lenovo ThinkCentre 8792 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
Clues the video graphics card will soon need to be replaced
- The graphics on your screen depicts fragmented images
- The PC reboots when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to show up when booting up
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install correctly
