Lenovo ThinkCentre 8212 Video Card
Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of graphic 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.
Warnings the video card will eventually need to be replaced
- Your display produces bits and pieces of the desktop
- The PC restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to come on when starting the computer
- The driver cannot install properly
