Lenovo ThinkCentre 4162 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. 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. Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
Major symptoms your display card will not last the year
- The monitor produces colors that are all wrong
- Your Lenovo crashes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you boot the PC
- The driver does not seem to install all the way
