Lenovo NetVista 6269 Video Card
Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are two types of graphic 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. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general.
