Lenovo ThinkCentre 2112 Video Card
All video cards processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a separate video card, generally speaking. Currently, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry.
