Lenovo ThinkStation 4155 Video Card
Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
Simple indications of a poorly working video card
- The monitor produces fragmented images
- Your Lenovo freezes when beginning a game
- Nothing seems to show up when starting the computer
- The video card driver does not seem to install properly
