Lenovo ThinkCentre 9709 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds 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. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking.
How do you know if your display card is not working properly?
- Your display produces fragmented images
- The PC freezes when starting a game
- The display does not show up as you boot the PC
- The driver does not seem to install like it should
