Lenovo IdeaCentre K450 Video Card
A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. There are really only two kinds of video 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. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
