Lenovo ThinkCentre 3134 Video Card
A graphics card processes graphics and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where it is displayed for you. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. 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 card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
