Lenovo ThinkCentre 9387 Video Card
Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
Some clues to watch for in a failing video graphics card
- The graphics on your screen produces fragmented images
- The PC reboots when beginning a game
- The display does not show up when starting the computer
- The video card driver has issues installing properly
