Lenovo ThinkCentre 3029 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. A video card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second.
