Lenovo ThinkCentre 9380 Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A graphics card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
How can I tell if my graphics card is on its last leg?
- The monitor produces lines
- The PC crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to come on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver has problems installing all the way
