Lenovo B40-30 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
