Lenovo PC 300PL Video Card
Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. All video cards processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
