Lenovo ThinkCentre 7578 Video Card
A graphics 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 a separate video card, generally speaking. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry.
Chief elements to watch for in a bad display card
- The graphics on your screen produces fragmented images
- The computer reboots when beginning a game
- The display does not come on when starting up
- A driver for the video card has issues installing all the way
