Lenovo ThinkCentre 3421 Video Card
Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, in general. Most newer computers will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. All video cards processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results.
