Lenovo IdeaCentre B500 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
