Lenovo ThinkCentre 5226 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are really only two kinds of graphic 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.
Major symptoms your desktop graphics card has very little life left
- The monitor displays stretched or elongated pictures
- The Lenovo ThinkCentre 5226 restarts when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to show up as you attempt to boot up
- The driver fails to install like it should
