Lenovo ThinkCentre 8808 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system.
What are the indications that my video graphics card is in need of replacing?
- The graphics on your screen displays lines
- The desktop freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not turn on when starting the computer
- The driver fails to install properly
