Lenovo ThinkCentre 9728 Video Card
A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking.
Major clues the video card will not last the year
- The graphics on your screen produces fragmented images
- Your Lenovo reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not turn on when starting up
- The driver fails to install correctly
