Lenovo ThinkCentre A51 Video Card
There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
Key indicators that my desktop video card is failing?
- The graphics on your screen depicts stretched or elongated pictures
- The PC restarts when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The display does not show up when booting up
- The video card driver fails to install like it should
