Lenovo ThinkCentre 1664 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Symptoms your desktop graphics card is in need of replacing
- The monitor shows weird colors or images
- The desktop crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not come on as you boot the PC
- The driver does not seem to install like it should
