Lenovo ThinkCentre 7360 Video Card
Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results.
Major indications of a deteriorating video card
- Your display displays stretched or elongated pictures
- The desktop reboots when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always turn on when starting up
- The driver has issues installing correctly
