Lenovo ThinkCentre 8423 Video Card
All video cards processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds 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. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system.
Hints of a weak desktop video card
- The graphics on your screen depicts vertical or striped lines
- The Lenovo ThinkCentre 8423 reboots when starting a game
- The display does not come on when starting up
- A driver for the video card cannot install like it should
