Lenovo ThinkCentre 8982 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of video 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. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
Clues to watch for to know the video graphics card will not last the year
- Your display displays weird colors or images
- Your Lenovo reboots when starting a game
- The display does not show up as you boot the PC
- The video card driver fails to install correctly
