Lenovo ThinkCentre 1565 Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
What symptoms are present when the graphics card is dying?
- Your display shows fragmented images
- The desktop reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to come on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card has issues installing fully
