Lenovo ThinkCentre 0823 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be installed. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
