Lenovo ThinkCentre 7597 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
Elements of an unhealthy video graphics card
- The monitor shows weird colors or images
- The desktop crashes when beginning a game
- The display does not show up when booting up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing like it should

Always make sure to double-check the part number before buying a video card replacement. Try to always get parts from a known seller when you buy online. Your Lenovo ThinkCentre 7597 desktop will love you more for thinking before buying.
