Lenovo H520S Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
