Lenovo ThinkCentre 4086 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available 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 it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
Warnings of a declining display card

- The Lenovo ThinkCentre 4086 freezes when beginning a game
