Lenovo ThinkCentre 7187 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. All video cards processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard.
Easy warnings to watch for in a bad video card
- The graphics on your screen displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The PC restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not turn on as you boot the PC
- The driver fails to install all the way
