Lenovo ThinkCentre 0870 Video Card
A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. 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. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed.
