Lenovo ThinkCentre 3627 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results.
Hints of a bad video graphics card
- The graphics on your screen displays lines
- The computer reboots when beginning a game
- The display does not turn on when booting up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing like it should
