Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge 3426 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. A graphics card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
Simple warnings that your graphics card has to be replaced?
- The graphics on your screen shows nothing
- The PC freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- The screen does not always show up when starting up
- A driver for the video card has issues installing all the way
