Lenovo 3000 7815 Video Card
Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. All video cards computes and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
