Lenovo BladeCenter HS20 Video Card
A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be added to the system. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a separate video card, in general.
