Lenovo ThinkCentre 3269 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A graphics card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
Easy warnings of a poorly performing graphics card
- The monitor displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The desktop reboots when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver fails to install all the way
