Lenovo IdeaCentre B520E Video Card
Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A graphics card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general.
Indications of a worsening video graphics card
- Your display displays fragmented images
- The desktop freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to turn on when booting up
- The video card driver has problems installing correctly
