Lenovo 3000 9683 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
What happens when my display card needs replacing?
- Your display displays fragmented images
- The PC freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not turn on when starting up
- A driver for the video card fails to install properly
