Lenovo H405 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. 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. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
Signs of a worsening graphics card
- The monitor depicts stretched or elongated pictures
- The Lenovo H405 freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always turn on as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card fails to install correctly

Always make sure to check and double-check the part number so that you correctly order the right video card. Try to always order computer products from a well-known website when buying parts online. Your Lenovo H405 desktop will be better off if you parts safely online!
