Lenovo ThinkCentre 8774 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. 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. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
General indicators that your display card needs replacing ASAP
- The graphics on your screen displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The computer restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always come on when starting the computer
- The video card driver has problems installing fully
