Lenovo ThinkCentre 5048 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system.
Major warnings of a barely functioning display card
- The graphics on your screen displays colors that are all wrong
- Your Lenovo crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always show up when starting the computer
