Lenovo ThinkCentre 7515 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. A graphics card computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. There are really only two kinds 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 most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Some clues the display adapter is failing
