Lenovo ThinkCentre 8818 Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general.
How can I tell if my desktop video card needs replacing?
- Your display displays weird colors or images
- The desktop reboots when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver fails to install properly
