Lenovo ThinkCentre 9694 Video Card
A graphics card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are two types of graphic 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 card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system.
Hints the video card has very little life left
- The monitor produces vertical or striped lines
- Your Lenovo restarts when starting a game
- The display does not come on as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card cannot install properly
