Lenovo ThinkCentre 1112 Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a separate video card, in general. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. Dedicated video cards are necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second.
