Lenovo ThinkCentre 3137 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be added to the system. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A video card processes the input and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general.
