Lenovo ThinkCentre 3313 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 newer computers will have at least one spot available for a video card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. All video cards computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.
