Lenovo ThinkCentre 9351 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
Simple signals the video card is on its last leg
- Your display displays nothing
- The desktop crashes when beginning a game
- The display does not turn on when booting up
- The video card driver fails to install properly
