Lenovo ThinkCentre 3655 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. A graphics card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of graphic 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. A dedicated graphics card is required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Key symptoms of a failing video graphics card
- The graphics on your screen shows bits and pieces of the desktop
- The desktop freezes when starting a game
- The display does not turn on when starting up
- The video card driver does not seem to install all the way
