Lenovo ThinkCentre 4219 Video Card
Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Clues to watch for to know the display adapter needs replacing ASAP
- The graphics on your screen displays nothing
- The computer reboots when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to come on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver has issues installing fully
