Lenovo ThinkCentre M93 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
Main clues the video card is going to die
- The monitor shows fragmented images
- Your Lenovo reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not show up as you attempt to boot up
- The driver fails to install all the way
