Lenovo ThinkCentre A52-8155 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary 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 graphics card to be installed.
Major indications the video graphics card is going to die
- The monitor shows stretched or elongated pictures
- Your Lenovo reboots when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to come on when booting up
- The driver has problems installing fully
