Lenovo ThinkCentre 3329 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard.

- The graphics on your screen displays vertical or striped lines
- Your Lenovo reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to show up as you boot the PC
