Lenovo ThinkCentre 1665 Video Card
Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general.
