Lenovo 3823 Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
Important clues of a weak display card
- The graphics on your screen shows bits and pieces of the desktop
- The computer reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to come on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card cannot install correctly
