Lenovo ThinkServer 1098 Video Card
Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of graphic 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 dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed.
Hints the display adapter is dying
- The graphics on your screen shows colors that are all wrong
- The Lenovo ThinkServer 1098 restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always come on when starting up
- The video card driver fails to install all the way
