Lenovo ThinkCentre 3207 Video Card
There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed on the motherboard. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated video cards will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield.
