Lenovo ThinkCentre 8994 Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. 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. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Major signs the display adapter will need replacing
- The graphics on your screen shows weird colors or images
- The computer crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to turn on when booting up
- The driver cannot install correctly

A Lenovo ThinkCentre 8994 video card is best purchased brand new for obvious reasons, including possible wear on an older one. The Lenovo desktop will be better off if you buy the right parts. Be sure to always get replacement parts from a reputable seller when you buy your parts online. It is always best to note the part number so that you correctly order the right video card.
