Lenovo ThinkCentre 8433 Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated video cards are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Key indicators that my graphics card is in need of a replacement?
- The graphics on your screen depicts fragmented images
- Your Lenovo crashes when starting a game
- The display does not turn on when booting up
- The video card driver fails to install all the way
