Lenovo ThinkCentre 4518 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. A graphics 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. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general.
Symptoms of a deteriorating video card
- The monitor displays stretched or elongated pictures
- The computer reboots when starting a game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you boot the PC
- The video card driver does not seem to install fully
