Lenovo ThinkCentre 9157 Video Card
Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Easy warnings the video card will have to be replaced
- The monitor shows fragmented images
- Your Lenovo reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not show up when booting up
- A driver for the video card cannot install all the way
