Lenovo ThinkCentre 5041 Video Card
At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. All video cards processes the input and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed. A dedicated graphics card is necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. 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.
