Lenovo ThinkCentre 9196 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
What happens when my video graphics card is in need of a replacement?
- The monitor produces lines
- The computer restarts when starting a game
- Nothing seems to show up when starting up
- The video card driver cannot install all the way
