Lenovo ThinkCentre 3296 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
Simple warnings that your video graphics card has to be replaced?
- The graphics on your screen shows fragmented images
- The PC freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not show up when starting the computer
- The video card driver cannot install properly
