Lenovo IntelliStation 6866 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, 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 separate video card, generally speaking. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. All video cards processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
