Lenovo ThinkCentre 3597 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. 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 graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of video 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.
What happens when my graphics card is about to go out?
- Your display displays colors that are all wrong
- The desktop restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always show up as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver fails to install all the way
