Lenovo 300GL 6278 Video Card
There are two types 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. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, in general. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
