Lenovo ThinkCentre 3692 Video Card
Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Almost all newer desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated display adapters will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. All video cards processes graphics and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated is built into the motherboard, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately.
