Lenovo ThinkCentre 9126 Video Card
A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
Important clues of a deteriorating graphics card
- The graphics on your screen displays lines
- The desktop crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to come on when starting up
- A driver for the video card fails to install correctly
