Lenovo ThinkCentre 3373 Video Card
There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my graphics card will soon go out?
- Your display depicts nothing
- Your Lenovo reboots when starting a game
- The screen does not always turn on as you boot the PC
- The driver fails to install fully
