Lenovo ThinkStation 4228 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated video cards will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of video 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. All video cards processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
Indications the video card needs replacing ASAP
- The monitor shows vertical or striped lines
- The Lenovo ThinkStation 4228 reboots when beginning a game
- The screen does not always turn on when starting up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing properly
