Lenovo ThinkCentre 3131 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Red flags of an inadequate display adapter
- Your display depicts bits and pieces of the desktop
- The computer crashes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to come on when booting up
- The driver fails to install fully
