Lenovo ThinkCentre 7356 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. All video cards computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of video 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. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Simple signals the video graphics card will need replacing
- Your display produces fragmented images
- The PC reboots when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to come on when starting up
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install correctly
