Lenovo ThinkCentre 3322 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. A video card processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is required for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed.
