Lenovo ThinkCentre 4480 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Signs of a poorly performing desktop video card
- The monitor displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- Your Lenovo restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not show up when booting up
- The driver cannot install all the way
