Lenovo IdeaCentre K230 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A video card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results.
