Lenovo ThinkCentre 9789 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are two types 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. A graphics card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
What warnings are present when my graphics card needs replacing?
- The graphics on your screen depicts weird colors or images
- The computer restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always come on when starting up
- The video card driver has issues installing like it should
