Lenovo ThinkCentre 3356 Video Card
Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Subtle hints your display card will not last the year
- The monitor displays vertical or striped lines
- The desktop freezes when beginning a game
- The display does not come on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver has issues installing like it should
