Lenovo ThinkCentre 8159 Video Card
Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.

- The monitor produces fragmented images
- The desktop restarts when beginning a game
