Lenovo NetVista 6645 Video Card
Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. There are two types 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. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A graphics card processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
