Lenovo NetVista 2283 Video Card
All video cards computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system.
