Lenovo ThinkCentre 9269 Video Card
Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. All video cards processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
Major clues the video card is dying
- The monitor depicts weird colors or images
- The desktop crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not show up as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install properly
