Lenovo NetVista 6059 Video Card
Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system. There are really only two kinds 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. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results.
