Lenovo ThinkCentre 5063 Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking.
Major symptoms of a weak video card
- Your display displays vertical or striped lines
- The computer restarts when starting a game
- Nothing seems to turn on when starting up
- The driver has issues installing like it should
