Lenovo ThinkCentre 1762 Video Card
Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.

- Your display displays stretched or elongated pictures
- Your Lenovo restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- Nothing seems to come on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card cannot install properly
