Lenovo ThinkCentre 7519 Video Card
Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds 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.
Major indications of a weakening video graphics card
- The monitor produces vertical or striped lines
- Your Lenovo freezes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to turn on as you attempt to boot up
- The video card driver cannot install like it should
