Lenovo ThinkCentre 9792 Video Card
A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Major clues of a worsening video graphics card
- Your display displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The computer reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to show up as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card cannot install fully
