Lenovo ThinkCentre 0800 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A graphics card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
