Lenovo ThinkCentre 2010 Video Card
There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Dedicated video cards are required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. All video cards processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard.
