Lenovo ThinkCentre 9189 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, in general.
Key clues of a faulty video card
- The monitor displays lines
- Your Lenovo crashes when starting a game
- The screen does not always turn on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card fails to install correctly
