Lenovo ThinkCentre 2945 Video Card
Integrated video cards are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A graphics card computes and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
