Lenovo ThinkCentre 9156 Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
How can I tell if my display adapter is failing?
- The monitor shows lines
- Your Lenovo freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always show up when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install all the way
