Lenovo ThinkCentre 6667 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Clues of a poorly performing display adapter
- The monitor displays weird colors or images
- The computer reboots when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to come on as you attempt to boot up
- The driver has problems installing like it should
