Lenovo ThinkCentre A60 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are two types 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. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. All video cards processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking.
How do you know if your display adapter is not working right?
- The monitor shows weird colors or images
- The desktop freezes when beginning a game
- The screen does not always turn on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver has problems installing correctly
