Lenovo ThinkCentre 3154 Video Card
Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external 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 necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
How do you know when your desktop video card is about to fail?

- The Lenovo ThinkCentre 3154 freezes when beginning a game
- The screen does not always turn on as you attempt to boot up
- The driver fails to install like it should
