Lenovo Aptiva E 2274 Video Card
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. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. Both an integrated and dedicated video card 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. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
