Lenovo ThinkStation D20 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
Signs your display card will need to be replaced
- The monitor displays fragmented images
- The desktop restarts when starting a game
- Nothing seems to come on when booting up
- The driver has issues installing fully
