Lenovo ThinkCentre 5035 Video Card
All video cards processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. There are two types of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while a dedicated graphics card is an individual piece of hardware that is bought and installed separately. Today, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield.
