Lenovo ThinkCentre 5450 Video Card
Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. Integrated, or onboard, graphics are not as good as dedicated graphic cards, generally speaking. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. A graphics card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.
