Lenovo ThinkCentre 9159 Video Card
Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
What happens when my video graphics card is in need of replacing?
- The monitor shows lines
- The Lenovo ThinkCentre 9159 reboots when beginning a game
- The display does not turn on when booting up
- The video card driver has issues installing correctly
