Lenovo ThinkCentre 0267 Video Card
A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Almost all newer 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 any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Chief elements of a deteriorating graphics card
- The graphics on your screen depicts bits and pieces of the desktop
- The PC crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always come on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card has issues installing correctly
