Lenovo ThinkCentre M83Z Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. 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. A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard.
Major signs your display card will die soon
- Your display displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The computer freezes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always come on as you attempt to boot up
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install fully

A Lenovo ThinkCentre M83Z video card is best purchased new because of wear and tear on any older used one. Try to always get replacement parts from a known seller if you buy anything online. It is in your best interest to re-check the part number before placing an order for a new video card. The Lenovo desktop will be better off if you buy the right parts.
