Lenovo ThinkCentre 7345 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are two types 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. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking.
Hints your display card is in need of replacing
- Your display shows vertical or striped lines
- The PC reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always turn on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver has issues installing all the way
