Lenovo C455 Video Card
A graphics card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
