Lenovo IdeaCentre A320 Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. 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. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system.
Signs your display card has very little life left
- Your display shows vertical or striped lines
- The desktop restarts when starting a game
- Nothing seems to show up when starting the computer
- The driver fails to install like it should
