Lenovo x3620 M3 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. 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. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
Easy warnings of an unhealthy desktop video card
- The graphics on your screen depicts bits and pieces of the desktop
- The PC freezes when starting a graphic intensive program
- Nothing seems to show up when starting up
- The video card driver has issues installing all the way
