Lenovo ThinkCentre 5205 Video Card
Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes graphics and sends the rendered images to a monitor where it is displayed for you. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place.
