Lenovo ThinkCentre 3325 Video Card
All video cards processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, in general. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.

- The computer restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
