Lenovo Aptiva 2140 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard.
