Lenovo ThinkCentre 0384 Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, 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, in general. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard.

- Your Lenovo freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
