Lenovo ThinkCentre 7359 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
What are the indications that my video graphics card will soon go out?
- Your display produces colors that are all wrong
- The desktop restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The display does not come on as you boot the PC
- The driver has issues installing fully
