Lenovo ThinkCentre 3224 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, in general.
Elements of a poorly working video card
- The monitor shows stretched or elongated pictures
- The computer crashes when starting a game
- The screen does not always come on as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card cannot install correctly
