Lenovo ThinkCentre 3496 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Most newer computers will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. Today, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general.
