Lenovo ThinkCentre 1983 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. All video cards processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated video cards will never be better than a separate video card, in general. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
