Lenovo ThinkCentre 3229 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system.
Warnings the video graphics card will need replacing
- The monitor shows colors that are all wrong
- The Lenovo ThinkCentre 3229 restarts when beginning a game
- The display does not come on when starting up
- A driver for the video card fails to install all the way
