Lenovo ThinkCentre 8467 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you.
Indications of a barely functioning display card
- The monitor produces vertical or striped lines
- The desktop crashes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to show up as you attempt to boot up
- The driver has issues installing fully
