Lenovo ThinkCentre 8213 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Simple indications of an ailing graphics card
- Your display shows lines
- Your Lenovo reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to come on when starting up
- The driver has issues installing fully
