Lenovo ThinkStation 7782 Video Card
Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
What are the indications that my desktop video card will soon go out?
- The graphics on your screen shows lines
- The PC crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to turn on as you boot the PC
- The driver cannot install all the way
