Lenovo ThinkCentre 9174 Video Card
Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
Simple warnings that your display adapter is in need of replacing?
- The graphics on your screen produces vertical or striped lines
- The Lenovo ThinkCentre 9174 crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not come on as you attempt to boot up
- The driver fails to install all the way
