Lenovo ThinkCentre 8316 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking.
Important clues of a worsening display adapter
- The graphics on your screen displays vertical or striped lines
- Your Lenovo crashes when beginning a game
- The screen does not always turn on when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card cannot install properly
