Lenovo ThinkCentre 3167 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. 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. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A graphics card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Warnings to watch for in a failing display adapter
- The graphics on your screen shows bits and pieces of the desktop
- The Lenovo ThinkCentre 3167 restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always show up as you boot the PC
- The video card driver has issues installing like it should
