Lenovo IdeaCentre B320 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
General indicators that your the video graphics card will need to be replaced
- The monitor displays lines
- The PC reboots when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to come on when booting up
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install all the way
