Lenovo ThinkCentre 3342 Video Card
Integrated display adapters are almost never as good as a separate video card, generally speaking. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Dedicated video cards are required for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
