Lenovo ThinkServer TD200 3817 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
What symptoms are present when the graphics card is about to go out?
- Your display displays colors that are all wrong
- Your Lenovo freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to come on when booting up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing all the way
