Lenovo ThinkCentre 3281 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
What red flags are there that my graphics card is about to go out?
- The monitor displays colors that are all wrong
- The Lenovo ThinkCentre 3281 restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not show up when starting up
- The video card driver has issues installing like it should
