Lenovo IdeaCentre K330B Video Card
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. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.
