Lenovo ThinkCentre 9137 Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Major symptoms the display adapter needs replacing ASAP
- Your display produces vertical or striped lines
- The computer restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always come on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install all the way
