Lenovo ThinkCentre 9384 Video Card
There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Symptoms the video graphics card is dying
- The monitor produces lines
- The desktop restarts when beginning a game
- The display does not come on when booting up
- The driver cannot install like it should
