Lenovo ThinkCentre 3320 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. All video cards processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds 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.
Major warnings the display adapter will soon need to be replaced
- The monitor depicts vertical or striped lines
- The PC crashes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to come on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver has problems installing all the way
