Lenovo IdeaCentre B340 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types 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. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. A graphics card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
