Lenovo ThinkCentre 3317 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external 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 dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
How can I tell if my graphics card has to be replaced?
- The monitor shows lines
- The PC restarts when beginning a game
- The screen does not always come on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver does not seem to install like it should
