Lenovo ThinkCentre 7627 Video Card
Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. 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. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
Clues to watch for in a failing display adapter
- The graphics on your screen displays lines
- The Lenovo ThinkCentre 7627 reboots when beginning a game
- The screen does not always show up as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card fails to install all the way
