Lenovo ThinkCentre 8434 Video Card
Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A graphics card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system.
What happens when my display adapter is about to stop working?
- Your display displays vertical or striped lines
- The Lenovo ThinkCentre 8434 reboots when beginning a game
- The display does not show up when booting up
- A driver for the video card has problems installing all the way
