Lenovo C2 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard.
