Lenovo 8318 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. A graphics card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board.
