Lenovo ThinkStation P700 Video Card
A graphics card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
Some warnings the display adapter should need replacing
- The graphics on your screen produces fragmented images
- The desktop restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to come on when starting up
- A driver for the video card cannot install like it should
