Lenovo ThinkCentre 1654 Video Card
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. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. A video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general.
What are some indications that my desktop video card really needs to be replaced?
- The graphics on your screen displays lines
- The desktop reboots when beginning a game
- The screen does not always turn on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card cannot install fully
