Lenovo ThinkCentre 3314 Video Card
Integrated video cards are not 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 Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. All video cards processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. There are really only two kinds 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.
Key signs of a deteriorating video card
- Your display produces stretched or elongated pictures
- Your Lenovo freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always show up when starting the computer
