Lenovo ThinkCentre 9181 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking.
Major symptoms the video graphics card will need replacing
- The monitor produces weird colors or images
- The computer crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always turn on when starting the computer
- The video card driver has issues installing like it should
