Lenovo ThinkCentre 5150 Video Card
Both an integrated and dedicated video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated display adapters are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. Almost all newer desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a video card to be added to the system. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for most games you would play on a desktop computer like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. 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. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
