Lenovo ThinkCentre 8973 Video Card
Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.

- Your display displays vertical or striped lines
- Your Lenovo crashes when starting a game
- Nothing seems to show up when booting up
