Lenovo ThinkCentre 3307 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. There are really only two kinds of graphic 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 new desktops will have at least one spot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Dedicated video cards are typically a required piece of hardware for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
