Lenovo ThinkCentre 4215 Video Card
At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A graphics card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where you can see the results. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general.
