Lenovo ThinkCentre M82 Video Card
All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard.
Major indications of a declining desktop video card
- The graphics on your screen produces stretched or elongated pictures
- The PC crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to show up when starting up
- The driver cannot install like it should
