Lenovo ThinkStation 3691 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
Major signs the display adapter will have to be replaced
- Your display depicts lines
- The PC freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to turn on when starting up
- The driver has issues installing correctly
