Lenovo ThinkCentre 0842 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of video 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. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Subtle hints your desktop graphics card is failing
- The monitor produces colors that are all wrong
- The desktop restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not come on when starting up
- A driver for the video card cannot install correctly
