Lenovo ThinkCentre 9283 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Major indications the video card has to be replaced
- The monitor produces lines
- The computer restarts when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to come on as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card fails to install properly
