Lenovo ThinkCentre 9172 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A graphics card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
Major indications your desktop graphics card needs replacing ASAP
- The graphics on your screen produces fragmented images
- Your Lenovo restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not come on when starting up
- A driver for the video card fails to install all the way
