Lenovo ThinkCentre 4394 Video Card
There are really only two kinds of graphic 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. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. All video cards processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.
