Lenovo ThinkCentre 3063 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A graphics card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. A dedicated graphics card is typically a required piece of hardware for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be installed on the motherboard.
