Lenovo ThinkCentre 3319 Video Card
Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard.
What to see if the display card is about to go out?
- The monitor depicts nothing
- Your Lenovo freezes when beginning a game
- The screen does not always come on as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing all the way
