Lenovo IdeaCentre K430 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.

- The Lenovo IdeaCentre K430 reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always show up as you attempt to boot up
