Lenovo ThinkCentre 3246 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. A dedicated graphics card is required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds of video 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. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
Some clues the video graphics card is going to die
- The graphics on your screen displays vertical or striped lines
- The desktop crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not come on when starting up
- The video card driver has issues installing like it should
