Lenovo ThinkCentre 9163 Video Card
Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking.
Key clues of a faulty display adapter
- The monitor produces fragmented images
- The PC freezes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to show up when starting up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing all the way
