Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge 71 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you.
Warnings of a barely functioning graphics card
- The graphics on your screen depicts weird colors or images
- The desktop restarts when starting a game
- The display does not turn on when starting up
- The driver has problems installing all the way
