Lenovo ThinkCentre 5053 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, in general. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed.
Easy warnings of a declining video card
- Your display shows weird colors or images
- The desktop freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always show up as you boot the PC
- A driver for the video card has issues installing like it should
